What is CITEAIR?
Common Information to European Air (CITEAIR) is a project co-funded by the European Union’s INTERREG IIIC Programme. The project started in March 2004 and will run until the end of 2007. The project 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.

During almost three years of productive work among partners and an exchange with stakeholders including the European Commission (DG Environment) and the European Environment Agency (EEA) a valuable set of products have been developed. At this stage matured drafts of these products are available. Until the end of 2007 these reports will be finalised and some products will undergo some further developments.
 

The main developments underpinned by products of CITEAIR are:

• Air quality Index CAQI and YAQACI – The first Air Quality indices on the European level
• The Common Operational webpage (COW) – An interactive webservice to display and compare air quality across cities
• Communicating Air Quality – A guide and practical examples to communicate with the public
• Proposal for a City Annual Air Quality Reports – A common reporting format and a semi-automatic report generator
• Air quality management – To assist cities to identify tools and measure to improve air quality
• Transferring a traffic-environmental modelling chain – The implementation of a Decision Support System
