Air pollution measurements
A campaign to measure air pollution was carried out from November 10th to December 8th, 2009 by Airparif. This measurement should measure the pollution of the air in the RER station and provide information about the air quality. In addition, the influence of rail traffic on the ambient air should be measured.
