- Personal exposure of urban pollution for large population is impractical” that common human diseases, such as asthma, cardiovascular disease, and cancer, result from a complex interplay between genes and environmental factors,valid estimates of individual exposure for large populationAnthropogenic sourcesTo make an educated decision you need data, good data. Unfortunatly, much of the environmental data cited by NGO’s, governments, and the private sector are incomplete, out of date or event estimated due to a complete lack.
- First, I amgoing to briefly talk about the current state about noise pollution monitoring.We all know thaturban pollution in general (but noise pollution specially) is one of the main environmental issues in cities. Noise pollution both affect health, have a social impact (human behaviour). They also have an economical cost. (most visible aspect) Noise affects productivity (so having an economical impact to , especially for the noise) and especially the health of the people.(25 Billion of Euro / year in EU) Of course there are existingenvironmentalpoliciestrying to tacklethis issue. But they have not been reallysuccessfulso far. And one of the reasonsisbecause of the complexity to the assessment of the pollution. If you want to manage pollution , first you need to be able to monitor it. And currently there are a lot of uncertainty in the evaluation of the real exposure to pollution of the population.
- Basically there are currently 2 official approaches to monitor noise (or air pollution).The first approach is to create pollution maps by modeling the emission of common sources of pollution, for instance the traffic.In this case we model the average level of emission of sources of pollution during a typical day using a lot of parameters. but it is not the real exposure of the people will walk for 3 minutes.On top of that such approach can’t monitor abnormal situation.The second approach is the use of a sensor networK.But currently the network are very sparce. There are only 6 sensors for noise and 7 for air quality. So, again, it’s very hard to evaluate at a fine grained the real exposure of the people. On top of that they are fixed. EU Call for real data! “Goals for future research include supplying the missing data.” [EC, 2004] “Every effort should be made to obtain accurate real data“ [EC WG, 2006] No real exposure data at the individual level
- A second reason of the limited success of current policies is the current role of the public. hey don’t involve the people in the pollution management. But because pollution is mainly made by the human activity. If they are a part of the problem, they should be a part of the solution. So we really need to involve the citizen in the pollution management, first to have a better representation fo their real environmental conditionsAnd secondly to act on the pollution by raising awareness in a more direct and powerful than just giving tradtional information at the city levelSo what can SONY do to support this issues?Involving people they raise awareness and change of behavior.Event if there are efforts in this direction , we need a novelway to raiseawareness moredirectly and in a much more powerfulwaythantraditional information at the city level
- Participatory monitoring of noise pollution using mobile phonesWe developed the project NoiseTube. The ideas is to turn mobile phones into noise sensors.So the goal is not to only use phones as communication devices, multimedia devices or event localisation devices But also to add a new environmental dimension by using mobile phones as environmental instruments.By this way , we provide them a lost cost solution to measure their personal exposure . So to have a direct get personalied environmental information, which is a a much more powerful way to raise awareness than traditional information given by environmental agencies.On top of that , they can share they measurements with the community to inform it about their environmental conditions. Such approach enable the production of local environmental information from the public to the community and empower the citizens in the discussionof the environmental management by raising awareness about their environmental conditions.Furthremore by doing that, we create a mobiel and adaptive sensor network matching with the the real lifestyle and supplying real exposure data at the level of individual.
- Credibility is important for the credibility
- Add Tag cloud+ indicator
- Such approach enable the production of local environmental information from the public to the community and empower the citizens in the debate of the environmental management by raising awareness about their environmental conditions.
