CitiAIR

Location: Rocafort, Spain

Description: DivAirCity is a 4 year project, funded by the EC under the H2020 programme, within the scope of the Sustainable Development Goals, valuing diversity and social inclusion to achieve innovative, creative, culture- driven, green and carbon neutral urban society. DivAirCity addresses the equation of social inequality, health conditions and air pollution in cities. It involves 26 EU organisations and 68 external stakeholders from all five continents and creates replicable pilots starting from 5 EU cities.

List of parameters measured: PM10, NO2

Location: Mortsel, Belgium

Description: Milieuraad Mortsel is promoting the installation of sensors designed by/managed by https://sensor.community/ by the citizens

List of parameters measured: PM2.5, PM10, Temperature, Humidity

Location: Gafanha da Nazaré, Portugal

Description: SmartAir emerged to respond to the problems identified by the educational community and which are related to the increase in the emission of polluting gases into the atmosphere. Students and teachers received training from researchers at the University of Aveiro and from teachers in the school's technical areas in terms of building sensors and in terms of communication and information. The curricular framework was made within the scope of Curricular Autonomy and and within the scope of the SmartSchoolLab project.

List of parameters measured: PM2.5, PM10, Temperature, CO2

Location: Vigo, Spain

Description: "Aire Limpo Tui" (Clean air Tui) is an initiative of the Tui City Council to analyse the air quality in the historical environment of the city, specifically in the street Antero Rubín. The aim is to evaluate the reduction of CO2 emissions due to the accessibility improvements and traffic reduction works in this street. City of Tui is located in the province of Pontevedra, Galicia, Spain.

List of parameters measured: PM1, PM2.5, PM10, Temperature, Humidity, CO2, VOC, Noise

Location: Bristol, United Kingdom

Description: ClairCity was an EU research project which aimed to raise awareness about air pollution and carbon emissions in our cities, looking at how we all contribute to the problems and how they affect the air we breathe. Uniquely, the project put the power in the hands of residents to determine the best local solutions.
Six partner cities directly shaped the project; they were Amsterdam (Netherlands); Bristol (UK); Ljubljana (SIovenia); Sosnowiec (Poland); the Aveiro region (Portugal) and the Liguria region (Italy).

Location: Purmerend, Netherlands

Description: Create air quality awareness by facilitating citizens to measure with sensors from the ApriSensor sensor system, combining data such as meteo and satellite and visualized through graphs and maps.

Location: Dublin, Ireland

Description: The GLOBE Ireland Air Quality Campaign is a school-based citizen-science project to assess traffic-related (nitrogen dioxide) air pollution outdoors at schools in Ireland. This is an educational project designed to raise awareness about air pollution, showcase the potential of citizen science to gather unique datasets and insights into our environment and promote behavior change.

List of parameters measured: NO2

Location: Barcelona, Spain

Description: This project is based on a standardised European methodology to evaluate odour episodes through citizens' observations. Odour Collect’s main goal is identifying areas where the quality of life is jeopardised by frequent odour exposure. Any citizen can act as the observer and collect geo-localised open data on the odour episode, which can be used to build collaborative odour complaint maps. Through citizen generated data, it is possible to get a better understanding of the impact of odour emitting activities.

Location: Barcelona, Spain

Description: xAire represents a large-scale monthly air quality monitoring in Barcelona and it has been replicated in Venice. It is an unprecedented citizen science project that involves schools and families to both: collect new geographically accurate data on air quality, and to empower themselves to present them rigorously in front of the City Council. With the support of the Consorci d’Educació de Barcelona, 18 public primary schools from the 10 districts of the city participate in the action.

List of parameters measured: NO2

Location: Thessaloniki, Greece

Description: Citizens are involved in urban rainwater monitoring as well as in urban air pollution monitoring, the latter on the basis of various indoor and outdoor scenarios, by employing low-cost AQ sensors. Via a number of citizen workshops as well as citizen-powered environmental monitoring campaigns, the project aims to map related problems and arrive at a set of best practices applicable to everyday life, on the basis of collaborative data analytics and knowledge extraction.

List of parameters measured: PM2.5, PM10, Temperature, Humidity, CO2

Location: Utrecht, Netherlands

Description: The public administration South-Holland (a densely populated urban province with 3.7 million inhabitants encompassing The Hague and Rotterdam) is actively encouraging and supporting citizen science initiatives around air quality and the environment. Goal of this project is to engage citizens with science and their environment, but also to complement and improve the official national data and models. The province is providing financial support, but also facilitating active community management and support (which is outsourced to The Green Land)

Location: Thessaloniki, Greece

Description: hackAIR aims to raise collective awareness about the daily conditions of air quality in Europe, leveraging the power of environmental intelligence (integration of data from multiple sources, data fusion for areas where no data exist, forecast modelling, estimation of environmental indices, personalised recommendations).
The hackAIR platform comprises of a website and a complementary mobile application. hackAIR can also integrate data from low-cost open hardware sensors.
