๐ How can citizen-generated air quality data support better health outcomes?
We hosted the first #CitiObs Citizen Science Dialogue โ 50+ participants from around the world discussing air quality, health, and community-led monitoring.
Key takeaway: citizen science is not only about data โ it's about awareness, trust, education, and action.
Recording & resources coming soon.

#Airpollution can change dramatically from one street to the next but most monitoring systems canโt capture that level of detail.
So how do we actually map what people are really breathing?
In #CitiObs we explored how low-cost community sensors + machine learning can unlock high-resolution air quality insights.
So how do you turn noisy, uneven citizen data into something reliable?

Turning environmental data into better decisions. ๐
#Environmental #data is everywhere, but itโs not always easy to understand or use.
The #CitiObs Decision Support System brings environmental information together in one simple, accessible platform, helping turn data into meaningful insights for communities, researchers, and decision-makers.
Curious how it works and who can benefit?
