Air quality information provides a major business resource for regional governments to be offered as value-added services for citizens. From a citizen and city administration's point of view, the increase of the quality of air pollution information and the way of how this information is delivered to the citizen will produce a better quality of life and a much better communication and mutual understanding between citizens and city authorities. Project APNEE (Air Pollution Network for Early warning and online information Exchange in Europe) strives to foster the active dissemination of air quality information to European citizens. Once APNEE is in place, there will be a dedicated information service to inform citizens about air quality trends. This information provides a basis for decisions taken to improve local and regional conditions and might eventually result in a change of citizen behaviour.
