Presentation by Evelyn De Wachter and Dries Van Ransbeeck at the OpenDataDay event 'Towards Clean Air with Open Data'. The event took place at BeCentral in Brussels on Saturday 3 March 2018.
2. We want to raise awareness about air quality in
Brussels by measuring and mapping local
pollution levels (PM 2.5 & PM 10).
We aim to build a comprehensive sensor
network covering the whole Brussels region.
4. Citizen-driven PM measurements across Europe
● Instructions to install self-built PM sensors
● Continuous updated PM map from transmitted data

17. Why InfluencAir?
* Raise more awareness about air quality and its health
effects.
* Set an example of real-time open data which anyone can
freely access, use, modify, and share for any purpose.
* Increase the amount of local measurements, which are
complementary to the data from official government stations.
* Demonstrate the power of citizens working together.
* Bridge the gap between science and a wider audience.
20. LoRaWAN
Is a wireless communication
standard.
It is designed to allow
low-powered devices to
communicate with
Internet-connected
applications over long range
wireless connections.
