CALIOPE provides quantitative and qualitative information about the main pollutants regulated by the European Directive 2008/50/EC and the World Health Organization (ozone, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, particulate matter and benzene). Results are evaluated using a system in near real time, which uses data obtained from air quality monitoring stations. Forecasts can be accessed through the website and smartphone applications.
