Open air quality data are a powerful, essential force to help us move towards clean air. The good thing is... you as a citizen can help measure and map local pollution levels!
On March 3rd, Open Knowledge Belgium is organising a full-day event including talks and workshops on how to build your sensor and analyse, visualise and interpret open air quality data. This event aims to gather all different actors involved in the field of air quality and is absolutely open to everyone who wants to learn more about the topic.
