Air quality. A current challenge – Naturgy Headquarters (Barcelona)

10/10/2018 al 21/10/2018 – Barcelona

The exhibition, entitled “Air quality. A current challenge”, was created by the Naturgy Foundation to contribute to the educational, environmental and cultural development of society and to show how the phenomenon of atmospheric contamination is a key factor affecting the health of the public and the environment.. The implementation of different initiatives by administrations, private companies and the public will be an essential challenge to reach the levels set by the World Health Organisation to improve the air quality in our environment. Therefore, responsible use of energy and, in particular, natural gas as clean fuel, will be decisive factors in reducing emissions and improving air quality. The exhibition, which was curated by Dr. Xavier Querol, an expert in atmospheric contamination, provides the tools to learn about and understand the key factors that affect air quality through four sections: the description of the phenomenon, the causes, the effects and the solutions to deal with it.

An educational proposal about air quality in cities

The exhibition “Air quality. A current challenge” is  complemented by a free educational programme designed for primary and secondary school students.. The educational proposal includes a tour and an activity that helps the students learn about the phenomenon and become active agents in providing solutions to the environmental challenge. The exhibition’s educational programme, which is led by a specialist, provides an opportunity to familiarise yourself with technical course content in a pedagogically innovative way.
