About this web site

Public information on environmental issues is of increasing importance and also an obligation under the CAFE Directive (2008/50/EC) as well as under the Aarhus Convention. Common Information to European Air (CITEAIR and CITEAIR II) were projects co-funded by the European Union's INTERREG IIIC and IVC Programmes. ... The projects started in March 2004 and ended in December 2011. Throughout this period it supports cities and regions in developing efficient means to collect, present and compare air quality data across a multitude of sites and provides furthermore an input to the air quality reporting and action planning. Thus, CITEAIR supports European cities and regions in their efforts to meet limit values and improve the air quality for their citizens.

CITEAIR collaborates with non-project cities and other stakeholders including the European Commission (DG Environment) and the European Environment Agency (EEA). Although the project are finished the initiative taken by the project partners and the collaboration continues. This is especially true for www.airqualitynow.eu that has become an operational service for European Cities. Any city that wishes to join is very welcome, we are prepared to incorporate data from new cities at any time.
