Additionally a mobile measuring station is used for hot spot measurements and for accompany-ing
city development projects.
The monitoring sites have been supplemented by a dense network of nitrogen dioxide passive samplers

to gather information about hot-spots and to answer imminent questions for the inhabitants.
