New Equipment for Air Quality Monitoring in Myrhorod

19 May, 2026

A student and a teacher from our university installed a modern Smartcitizen air quality sensor in Myrhorod as part of an environmental study, which is already operational and integrated into a pan-European scientific platform.

Viktoriya Borysenko, a student at the Faculty of Natural and Agrarian Sciences, and Inna Tymchenko, the project’s scientific leader, an associate professor at the Department of Landscape Gardening and Ecology, received and successfully connected the Smartcitizen air quality sensor. This initiative was implemented with the support of the Institute of International Education (USA) Ukraine Future Leaders Research Scholarship and in close cooperation with the European project CitiObs (Horizon Europe).

The installed Smartcitizen sensor operates in an autonomous mode and allows real-time monitoring of key environmental indicators: temperature, humidity, ultraviolet radiation level, noise pollution, as well as the concentration of fine dust of various fractions.

Viktoriia Borysenko uses the obtained information arrays for her scientific research. The main goal of her work is to analyze in detail how military operations and global climate change affect fluctuations in atmospheric air quality parameters.

The device is integrated into the common European platform of measuring devices. This means that the data collected in Myrhorod are open and are simultaneously analyzed by leading European scientists to monitor the general ecological situation in the region.
