RTU Develops Moss Display on Solar Panels to Improve Air Quality in Riga
Riga Technical University (RTU) has developed a moss display installed in Viesturdarzs, Riga, utilizing decommissioned solar panels to improve air quality by reducing PM2.5 exposure. The device integrates sensors for real-time dust measurement, aiding ongoing research. The project is supported by the European Union Recovery and Resilience Facility and involves collaboration with partners such as KTH Royal Institute of Technology and SIA 'Rigas Mezi'.

Riga Technical University (RTU) has created a moss display using decommissioned solar panels in Viesturdarzs, Riga, aimed at improving air quality by filtering fine particulate matter PM2.5. The moss surfaces attract dust particles, while the solar panels provide a reusable support structure.
Integrated sensors measure dust levels, facilitating ongoing analysis by RTU scientists. The initiative, funded by the European Union Recovery and Resilience Facility, involves collaboration with KTH Royal Institute of Technology, the French National Centre for Scientific Research, and local partners. This project showcases the potential of innovative solutions within a circular economy framework.
