D-USES PROJECT
The D-NOSES - Decentralised Network for Odor Sensing, Empowerment and Sustainability project aims to change the way odor pollution is currently addressed at all levels of government (European, national and local).
The D-NOSES project will share scientific expertise in odor detection and monitoring with the public, which will play a very relevant role in a number of local case studies that will be developed under D-NOSES. In Portugal, two practical cases will be developed, one of them in S. João da Madeira.
The D-NOSES project will empower local communities affected by odor pollution to drive change by supporting them in gathering evidence about the problem. Once the problem has been identified and characterized, D-NOSES project partners will work with local communities and other stakeholders to design possible solutions to the problem in an innovative approach to co-creation.
The results of the D-NOSES project are intended to be taken into account in future plans to reduce odor pollution, contributing to the development of a standard regulatory framework and influencing public policies at local, national level. and European.
