The 7th of September is the International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies, also marked globally as #CleanAirDay, and EASVOLEE stands at the forefront of Europe’s effort to combat air pollution and protect public health. The awareness day was established by the United Nations Environment Programme, following UN General Assembly resolution 74/212, to highlight

On Wednesday, 10 December 2025, the EASVOLEE and PAREMPI projects will co-organize a policy workshop on transport emissions in Brussels, Belgium. The upcoming workshop will highlight the both project’s main findings and encourage dialogue on advancing clean air initiatives, particularly in shaping future air quality policies. Save the date and stay tuned — the full

We are pleased to announce that our session, “Transport and Air Pollution: From Real-World Emissions to Their Impacts,” at the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 2025, which will be held from 27 April to 2 May in Vienna, has received over 60 abstract submissions. Among these, eleven abstracts for both oral and poster presentations

On 5-6 March 2025, the EASVOLEE consortium successfully held its second annual meeting at ICE-HT/FORTH in Patras. The event brought together project partners to evaluate the progress made during the first two years of the project and to plan the next steps. This meeting marked a significant milestone, providing an opportunity for partners to present

In an effort to measure emissions of thousands of vehicles under realistic conditions, concentrations of gas and particulate pollutants, were measured in the Frejus Tunnel that connects France and Italy over a one-month period. These measurements were combined with tunnel traffic data (number of vehicles, vehicle types, and average speed) to calculate the average emission

In the beginning of December, the EASVOLEE project started the campaign of vehicle emission measurements under realistic environments in the biggest indoor parking facility in Patras, Greece. FORTH and PSI teams work together characterizing the emissions of the vehicle fleet focusing on cold start emissions. The chemical aging of these emissions and the production of

EASVOLEE project together with the PAREMPI, Mi-TRAP and AEROSOLS projects, is engaged in convening a session during the next European Geosciences Union (EGU)  General Assembly 2025 (27 April – 02 May 2025, Vienna, Austria & Online). Join us and present your research work at EGU conference in the session AS3.30 “Transport and air pollution, from

In the end of August (25.08 – 30.08.2024), several EASVOLEE partners participated in EAC2024 through various oral and poster presentations. Moreover, EASVOLEE co-organized a special session on Oxidative Potential of Aerosol Particles and Health Risks (related to its WP3). The conveners of the EAC session were Pourya Shahpoury, Athanasios Nenes, and Daniele Contini. The session

The article “Pollution de l’air : un projet sur les émissions de particules ultrafines des véhicules en conditions réelles” by Matthieu Martin was published (July 17) in SCIENCES POUR TOUS of the Claude Bernard University Lyon 1. That article focuses on emissions’ measurements under real driving conditions of a city bus that they took place

Last week (28 May), the EASVOLEE project started the campaign of vehicle emission measurements under realistic environments in the Frejus tunnel that connects France with Italy. PSI, TNO and FORTH teams work together towards reducing harmful transport emissions. Stay tuned! We’ll be out with the results…
