Citisense: Mobile Air Quality Sensing for Individuals and Communities Design and deployment of the Citisense moble air-quality system

چکیده
Individual and community health can be greatly impacted by poor air quality. Unfortunately air quality metrics are hard for individuals to obtain and are often not precise enough for people to make the inferences they need to construct positive personal health choices. Through the Citisense mobile air quality system we enable users to track their personal air quality exposure for discovery, self-reflection, and sharing within their local communities and online social networks. Keywords-ubicomp; sensors; air quality; participatory sensing
