| Description | Breathe London Pilot |
| Organisation | National Physical Laboratory |
| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Academic/University |
| PI Contribution | I was a part of the Breathe London Pilot due to my collaboration with my the National Physical Laboratory. Part of my contribution was checking data quality and maintaining a collocation study at the National Physical Laboratory's Teddington campus. I am also continuing work on the development of an algorithm which determines the uncertainty of the measurements in the network and detects outliers and errors in the data. |
| Collaborator Contribution | The Breathe London Pilot study involved a network of 100 AQMesh sensors deployed around London monitoring a range of air pollutants in order to increase the density of air quality measurements within London. The goal of the network was to deploy sensors in areas of high public interest such as schools. The first year of the network also utilised two vehicles fitted with high quality, reference grade air quality monitors which would drive around London and build an air quality map across the whole of London. |
| Impact | The Breathe London Pilot has now been taken over by the new Breathe London network, using recommendations from the pilot study. The Breathe London Blueprint has now been published which can be used to guide future studies in other cities. |
