Abstract

This report contains a short description of the elements of a suggested programme of projects for citizen \nscience in the area of urban air quality. The programme has been put together by the authors of the \nreport based on a review of current work in this area and discussions with the study Advisory Group in \nAugust 2013 (for membership see Appendix 1). \nAn overview of the programme is given below, followed by short 2-page summaries of each project. \nThese projects are proposed for a future programme of citizen science urban air quality. \nWe also present in this report a brief description of two small methodological pilot studies. These pilot \nstudies are not intended to cover the full range of the proposed projects, but to test some aspects of the \nproposed methodology. The findings of the pilot studies will be reported separately.
