Air pollution constitutes the largest environmental health risk in Europe and has a significant impact on the health of the European population, particularly in urban areas.

Following the Sentinel-5P satellite – the first Copernicus mission dedicated to monitoring our atmosphere – the Sentinel-4 and Sentinel-5 missions will take current air quality measurement capabilities to the next level.

Together, the Sentinel-4 and -5 missions will provide information on atmospheric variables in support of European policies. This will include monitoring air quality, stratospheric ozone and solar radiation, as well as climate monitoring.

This video features interviews with Giorgio Bagnasco, project manager of the Sentinel-4 mission, Ben Veilhelman, scientist of the Sentinel-4&5 mission and Didier Martin, project manager of the Sentinel-5 mission.
