Detailed description (English): TRAFFIC AND AIR POLLUTION IN CITIES
Air pollution in Europe is recognized as the single greatest risk to the health of the population. A significant part of the EU population is exposed to exceeding limit values of pollutants, and a large contribution to pollution comes from traffic.
The European Mobility Week will be celebrated again this year, on September 18, 2024, by students of the 4th grade at the Commercial and Trade School in Split and their mentors Marija Istenić and Ivana Čota.
Students will answer questions about how poor air quality can affect our health, and what is the connection between traffic jams and air quality in cities. They will present their answers in different digital tools of their choice.
Since most vehicles today emit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which are the main cause of global warming, spending a day without using a car is just a small step in caring for the environment.
Therefore, on September 22, 2024, we will celebrate World Car-Free Day. The students will meet in the Marjan forest park, they will choose active ways of movement: they will walk, rollerblade, skate, and bike.
This day raises awareness of what each of us can do for the common good - at least for one day, give up driving and think about other options for transportation, primarily walking and cycling.
By encouraging individuals to choose sustainable modes of transport, such as walking and cycling, we can reduce carbon emissions, improve air quality and make urban spaces more pleasant places to live and work...
Detailed description (original language): PROMET I ONEČIŠĆENJE ZRAKA U GRADOVIMA
Onečišćenje zraka u Europi prepoznaje se kao najveći pojedinačni rizik za zdravlje stanovništva. Značajan dio stanovništva EU-a izložen je prekoračenjima graničnih vrijednosti onečišćujućih tvari, a velik doprinos onečišćenju dolazi i iz prometa.
Europski tjedan mobilnosti i ove godine, 18. rujna 2024. obilježit će učenici 4. razreda Komercijalno-trgovačke škole Split i njihove mentorice Marija Istenić i Ivana Čota.
Učenici će odgovoriti na pitanja kako loša kvaliteta zraka može utjecati na naše zdravlje, i kakva je poveznica između prometnih gužvi i kvalitete zraka u gradovima. Svoje odgovore predstavit će u različitim digitalnim alatima prema vlastitom odabiru.
Kako većina vozila današnjice emitira ugljik-dioksid i druge stakleničke plinove, koji su glavni uzrok globalnog zatopljenja, provesti jedan dan bez korištenja automobila tek je mali korak u brizi za očuvanjem okoliša.
Stoga ćemo 22. rujna 2024. obilježiti Svjetski dan bez automobila (World Car-Free Day). Učenici će se sastati u park šumi Marjan, odabrati će aktivne načine kretanja: pješačiti će, rolati, voziti skejt, bicikl, romobil…
Ovim danom podiže se svijest o tome što svatko od nas može učiniti za opću dobrobit - barem se na jedan dan odreći vožnje automobilom i razmisliti o drugim mogućnostima transporta, prvenstveno hodanju i bicikliranju.
Poticanjem pojedinaca na odabir održivih načina prijevoza, poput hodanja i bicikliranja, možemo smanjiti emisije ugljika, poboljšati kvalitetu zraka te urbane prostore učiniti ugodnijim mjestima za život i rad…
Target group(s): students, teachers, parents, professional colleagues
