Introduction to air quality monitoring

Are you concerned about air quality in Leeds? Would you like to help monitor pollution levels so we can clean up our air?

Climate Action Leeds are working with a group of researchers from the University of Leeds on a citizen science project in Leeds. The project is called SYNERGIA and is focused on air quality monitoring. 

Come and meet the team and find out how you could get involved. If you take part, you will be given an air quality sensor to install at your house or workplace.
