Winterthur is an official air-pollution zone with almost no neighbourhood data. A citizen group's pilot puts sensors on balconies and school roofs — and eventually up to 50 trolleybuses — but Phase 1 tested just 3.

Winterthur is an official air-quality remediation zone that has long lacked neighbourhood-level data. A citizen association's Bürgernetz Luftqualität pilot tests compact LoRaWAN sensors on balconies and school roofs, with a plan to add mobile units on up to 50 trolleybuses; Phase 1 (April-July 2026) validated just 3 sensors against the official OSTLUFT reference station, with data published as open government data.
