Born from a student project at AGH University after the 2016 Smogathon, Airly grew Krakow's air-quality monitoring from 6 official stations to nearly 100 crowd-sourced sensors via the #KrakowOddycha campaign, backing a solid-fuel ban in force since September 2019 that has removed 14,600+ coal boilers.
