In the face of rising air contamination in the Andalucía city of Córdoba, 80,000 troops have been enlisted to collect atmospheric data. To combat the ever growing problem of air pollution in Córdoba, ‘special forces’ are being sent in. An army of sentry bees numbering 80,000 ‘troops’ will be stationed in the city as part of an imaginative initiative to monitor and control levels of air pollution.

Due to its peculiar topography, Córdoba is the city with the second highest levels of air pollution in Andalucía. The city is enveloped in a depression of the Guadalquivir valley leaving the heavy metals expulsed by industry trapped in a basin of air. In addition to metals, pesticides from surrounding farms are also clogging up the atmosphere.
