"Air quality on Australia’s roads matters. On any given day (when we’re
not in lockdown) people meet, commute, exercise, shop and walk with
children near busy streets. But to date, air quality monitoring at
roadsides has been inadequate.
I and my colleagues wanted to change that. Using materials purchased
from electronics and hardware stores for around A$150, we built our own
air quality monitors.
Our newly published research reveals how our devices detected
particulate pollution at busy intersections at levels ten times worse
than background levels measured at official air monitoring stations."
How and where you measure makes a big difference.
