Helping To Monitor The Indoor Air Quality In The Kindergarten Of Bezdonys

This morning, we assisted the amazing Mepco team while they installed air quality sensors in the kindergarten of Bezdonys, a town on the outskirts of Vilnius. Bezdonys is the first of many schools in Lithuania who will start monitoring its indoor air quality, for the benefit and safety of its little residents.
The project started a little ahead of our scheduled network deployment in the area, so we installed a Sigfox micro base station inside the kindergarten building.
Clean air has long been a priority in the EU, and EU legislation sets legally binding standards for a number of pollutants in the air we breathe. Air quality is particularly important for the little ones. Studies show that children who spend long periods in unhealthy buildings are 150% to 300% more prone to coughing and wheezing - symptoms of asthma and other respiratory conditions.
