The WairIt project aims to optimize existing techniques for measuring citizens' personal exposure to urban air pollution using innovative wearables, advanced integration technologies data, and environmental indicator estimation algorithms. The collected information will be immediately available to people wearing wearables through a mobile app, and to all stakeholders through an online platform. As part of the project, the solution will be piloted in Thessaloniki by employees of the courier company IDS. This pilot application will lead, among other things, to the mapping of urban pollution in such a high spatial resolution that similar to it has never existed again in Greece. 

The WairIt project aims to develop a comprehensive solution for monitoring each individual's personal exposure to air pollution and providing personalized information so that each person is aware of the potential health effects.  As can be seen from the above, a very detailed mapping of air pollution for the main roads of the city of Thessaloniki is expected to emerge very soon within the project. The total solution can be easily transferred and used in any area as it does not require the installation of a station or the use of complex networks, whenever the air pollution is mapped on a case by case basis. Given that road pollution or denser pollution data will now be available, it is expected that the WairIt solution will be able to provide routing services, not only based on mileage, but also on optimal environmental conditions to ensure the health of the citizen.

As for the company that has the WairIt solution to its employees (in this case the IDS courier), it now has the ability to monitor not only where its employees are but also what environmental conditions they are exposed to. The smart routing system is expected to preserve the health of the company's employees and consequently reduce the need for health benefits and minimize lost working hours due to illnesses related to environmental conditions. The company will gain a comparative advantage over competitors, and is estimated to increase its customer base due to an improved social image. Also, the use of wearables can increase the productivity of employees by 8.5% and the sense of satisfaction from their employer ("The human cloud at work", 2014). Correspondingly, the solution can be used by any body, eg by Municipalities that want to provide it to their citizens or by NGOs to their members, but also by individuals with similar expected results.

Policy makers will be able to use the platform to make right environmental decisions, and evaluate air pollution mitigation measures proposed to comply with existing legislation. From an environmental point of view, WairIt allows the general public to gain a basic knowledge of the different types of pollutants, their levels in the atmosphere and how they interact with human activities. Also, the large volume of data on air quality will contribute to a better understanding of the problem and its sources, while helping to formulate policies in the areas of environmental protection, public health and transport planning. In the long run, the platform could also be used as an educational tool to raise public awareness and understand the causes of air pollution. 

Finally, the WairIt solution is expected to inspire sound environmental standards, as it will inform users about specific practices to limit their contribution to the problem of air pollution locally.
