Good air quality is a human right. Citizens will want to make sure that air quality stays within healthy limits by measuring it with their own devices. In the future, citizen science will not be a trending phenomenon. It will be a way of life.

Citizen science is more than data collection, but the importance of data should not be understated, as without relevant data it's hard to make any substantial impact on policy, for example.

Like any research project, a citizen science initiative should strive to produce results that are robust and scientifically sound. This requires putting in place measures to ensure a minimal acceptable level of quality is met.

There is a lot of expectation from citizen science projects to deliver environmental change. But how can this be achieved? Report describes 4 pathways used in COMPAIR for that purpose:
-Participatory policy making
-Experimentation
-ICTs
-Awareness raising

Participants who were actively involved in COMPAIR activities demonstrated greater awareness of environmental issues and were more likely to alter their behaviors, such as reducing car use or showing more support for local environmental policies.

The idea of COMPAIR was to co-create a model for how citizen science can tackle complex challenges like air pollution by generating local data that can be used to drive behaviour change and contribute to evidence-driven policy-making.

The report demonstrates, on the example of 5 COMPAIR CS Labs, how public participation in citizen science can improve social cohesion and public policies in a number of areas e.g. environment, mobility, urban planing, education.

Data quality is a known is issue in citizen science projects that use low-cost sensors to monitor air pollution.
The report describes different tactics used in COMPAIR to address the problem, namely distant calibration and auto-calibration.

Tackling a complex challenge like air pollution requires all members of the urban value chain to play a role: citizens, policy, industry, and academia.
Report shows how this consideration influenced engagement in COMPAIR to achieve clean air for all.

Policy Monitoring Dashboard helps study the impact of planning measures on traffic and air pollution. By monitoring target location & surrounding areas you can see if policy intervention is effective or simply moves the problem further afield/displacement

Do you know your impact on the environment? 🌍
With the CO2 Calculator, you can find out your carbon footprint, learn how to improve it and then use Simulator check which measures you & govt can take to reach EU’s climate neutrality targets for 2030.

Do you know how good the air quality was when you went to work this morning? 👣
With DEV-D (Dynamic Exposure Visualisation Dashboard) you can easily check your personal exposure to air pollution based on where, when and how you travelled 🚶 🚴♂️ 🏃♀️
