London Sustainability Exchange and ECG community project on Air quality
We are looking for enthusiastic environmental scientists/ chemists to volunteer on an Air Quality community project in London starting with a training event on the evening (17:00-19:00) of Wednesday 31st October 2018. We will provide you with the training on air pollution and atmospheric chemistry. The project will take place in November and December in the Tower Hamlets area of London. The project is with the London Sustainability Exchange (LSx) and linked to their Cleaner Air 4 Communities project.
The volunteers will help at a community action workshop, providing advice on air pollution and help the communities to devise an action plan for monitoring and awareness-raising. Training with be given to the volunteers on the use of low cost sensors (from the HIRI network, which has been developed in Chile) and their data and together we will provide advice to the community members on how and where they will take measurements. The ECG group will provide advice and coordinate the volunteers. For more information on previous projects see London Sustainability Exchange and contact Zoё Fleming and we will provide you with details for the dates of the monitoring phase.
