AirGrid: Sensor grids to map airborne particulate matter across towns and cities

To create a map of air quality across a town or city you used to have spend significant resources setting up and maintaining a sparse air quality monitoring network and then apply uncertain models which rely on emissions data you don’t usually have. But gone are the...

Mapping traffic pollution: Using cheap samplers and semi-empirical modelling to gain insight into how urban planning and design impacts exposure

Mapping traffic pollution: Using cheap samplers and semi-empirical modelling to gain insight into how urban planning and design impacts exposure

The degree to which road traffic pollutes urban air varies hugely, depending how much traffic is nearby. We’ve been mapping traffic pollution in detail across all New Zealand’s towns and cities over the last decade. In doing so we’ve been refining the methods to...
