Poor air quality revealed in Northern schools

A study by the "Respirar Fundo" project, co-funded by the European Union, analyzed air quality in 13 schools across the country, including three in Northern Portugal (EB de Manhente in Barcelos, EB de Freixo in Ponte de Lima, and EB 2/3 Pevidém and EB Gil Vicente in Guimarães), revealing that atmospheric pollutants measured at the entrance to these schools exceed future legal limits. The monitoring, conducted by the Environmental and Sustainability Research Centre, found that in nine of the 12 schools analyzed, concentrations of PM2.5 and NO₂ would exceed the stricter limit values of European Directive 2024/2881, which comes into force in 2030. The problem is worsened by road traffic, with peaks during rush hours. The project will now expand with "Respirar+Fundo", covering more schools and regions.
