Spring Air Quality Campaign 2018

Event Date: 03/01/2018 - 05/31/2018

Have You Ever Wondered How Clean the Air is in Your Area? Or How it Compares to Neighboring Towns and Countries?

All GLOBE schools are invited to study air quality and share their data with the GLOBE community.

Let’s create a map of air pollution together! Let’s find out what is in the air near you!

The Campaign is Open!

We will focus on aerosols - or tiny particles - transported by air currents across the planet. Some aerosols, such as diesel particles, negatively impact human health and the environment. Other types, such as pollen, play an important role on the Earth’s ecosystems.

How to Participate

Visit the Air Quality campaign website
In March and April make measurements and share them as often as possible
- Observe the sky conditions (sky colour, visibility, clouds…) to get a first level of understanding of the presence of aerosols.
- If you have a sun photometer, take AOT measurements
In May, review your data and do a short report on your findings, feel free to discuss them with other GLOBE schools and scientists to share experience and get feedback.
Become a member of the Air Quality Campaign community. You will get updates about the campaign.
