CitiAIR

Location: Utrecht, Netherlands

Description: Samen Meten is an infrastructure for data and knowledge sharing for citizen scientists interested in air quality. We provide a platform where citizens can find their own data and the data of others. In addition, the data can be analysed via the 'Analyse together tool'. New citizen scientists can also find information on how and where to start measuring air quality. Currently also data on noise and water quality is added.

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

Location: Bilbao, Spain

Description: The H2020 SOCIO-BEE project aims to encourage citizens to take an active role in the fight against climate change through citizen science using disruptive technologies such as drones and wearables articulated by a framework called AcadeMe. More specifically, Socio-Bee aims to involve different segments of citizens (young people under 16 years of age, older adults over 65 years, and people who commute by car or through public transport in large cities or suburbs) in different scientific endeavors..

List of parameters measured: PM2.5, Temperature, Humidity, O3, NO2

Location: Dublin, Ireland

Description: Citizen science activities in schools to monitor air pollution and traffic. Active mobility campaign. Codesign of nature-based solutions (NbS) to protect schools from road traffic pollution.

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

Location: London, United Kingdom

Description: The COMPAIR innovation project is designed to bolster citizens' capacity to monitor, understand, and change their environmental impact, both at a behavioural and policy level. It unlocks the power of the wider public, including people from lower-socio economic groups, to provide broad granular data around a central theme of air quality, complementing and improving the quality of official datasets and making new information useful for helping to meet environmental aims.

List of parameters measured: PM2.5, PM10, Temperature, Humidity, O3

Location: Handeslweg, Netherlands

Description:Within the Snifferbike project, bikes are equipped with sensors measuring air quality. Citizens use these bikes to for instance commute to work and collect air quality data at the same time. The data is collected at a central location but can also be used by the individual users.

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

Location: Antwerpen, Belgium

Description: Within the European Clean Air Project (2018-2021), we want to reduce the impact of harmful substances on indoor air quality. We innovate air purification techniques and test them in facilities for sensitive groups. Together with citizens and schools, we measure the air quality and devise targeted local solutions.

List of parameters measured: NOx, PM1, PM2.5, PM10, Temperature, Humidity, CO2, New Option

Location: Prague, Czech Republic

Description:Senzorvzduchu, z.s. is an association operating in the Czech Republic with the aim of spreading awareness of the possibility of citizen measurement of air quality through self-built sensors. Senzorvzduchu, z.s. works closely with Sensor.Community and uses its open network. Sensor.community is a global sensor network founded in 2016 with currently 14,148 sensors in 71 countries. Together, we have taken 11,229,115,118 measurements.

List of parameters measured:PM2.5, PM10

Location: Marseille, France

Description:The DIAMS project has 4 main objectives reflecting the five senses of human brain. In concrete terms, the DIAMS project consists in deploying a platform for the exchange of data on air quality and digital services that allows everyone (political decision-makers, experts, citizens, civil society, economic actors, for example) to commit themselves to developing coordinated action plans at all territorial levels (individual, hyper local, urban, regional, national and supranational).

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

Location: Bobigny, France

Description:The main ambition of the Balbyn’air campaign is to provide awareness for the volunteer citizens and that these citizens speak with their family, friends and entourage about air quality issue and actions to improve air quality on their scale.

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

Location: Barcelona, Spain

Description:Smart Citizen empowers communities to better understand their environment by collecting, understanding, and sharing environmental data. It provides tools at different technical levels for raising awareness, and creating empowerment through environmental data.

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

Location: Ghent, Belgium

Description: Monitoring of air quality impact of a new traffic circulation plan in the city centre using passing NO2 samplers

Location: Baden-Württemberg, Germany

Description: Sensor.Community is a contributors driven global sensor network that creates Open Environmental Data. Our mission is to inspire and enrich people’s lives by offering a platform for the collective curiosity in nature that is genuine, joyful and positive.
