CAPTOR

Lead organisation: Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (Academic)

In CAPTOR citizens and scientists collaborate closely to monitor and address ozone pollution in Europe. We aim to establish low-cost sensor networks maintained by citizens to measure ozone pollution in dispersed areas and to stimulate collaborative solution finding.

Policy uptake explanation

The CAPTOR project is based on the assumption that the combination of citizen science, collaborative networks and environmental grassroots social activism helps to raise awareness and find solutions to the air pollution problem, having a high potential impact on fields such as education, social innovation, science, environment, politics and industry. To have powerful and high-quality instruments for discussions with decision makers. BUT The data generated by the CAPTOR nodes should only be considered informative and not be used for regulatory compliance purposes.
