OUR PROFILE
The Air Quality Unit (AQU) is a scientific and technological unit of excellence dependent on the Centre of Renewable Energies and Environmental Quality (CREEQ) of the College of Engineering at the Catholic University of Temuco. The AQU is constituted by national and international researchers and scientists. Our work covers the Research and Innovation, Technical Assistance, and Training in the area of Air Quality Management and Air Pollution Control, where we develop the themes of Air Quality Modeling, Particulate Matter and Ozone Forecasting, Health Risk Assessment, Emissions and Ambient Monitoring, Emissions Inventories, and Air Pollution Control Systems.
Acording to the United Nations Development Programme, the energy and air quality are essential for sustainable development. The poor and the middle class are disproportionately affected by air quality degradation and lack of access to clean, affordable energy services. More ...
