This study investigates traffic-related NO₂ pollution around San Ġwann Primary School. Students measure NO₂ using diffusion tubes, collect traffic volume & weather parameters following GLOBE protocols. The study runs over a 4 week period & aims to understand how traffic near the school affects air quality & how these results compare with data from other schools across the islands. The study raises awareness about air pollution & encourages students to propose actions to improve air quality.
