Data set from large-scale citizen science provides high-resolution nitrogen dioxide values for enhancing community knowledge and collective action to related health issues.

ABSTRACT: Dataset from a large-scale air quality citizen science campaign is presented (xAire, 725 measurements, see Ref. [1]). A broad partnership with 1650 citizens from communities around 18 primary schools across Barcelona (Spain) provided the capacity to obtain unprecedented high-resolution NO₂ levels which had in turn the capacity to provide an updated asthma Health Impact Assessment. Nitrogen dioxide levels being obtained in a 4-week period during February and March 2018 with Palmes' diffusion samplers are herein provided. Dataset includes NO₂ levels from outdoor locations n=671, playgrounds n=31, and inside school buildings (mostly classrooms) n=23. Data was calibrated and annualized with concentration levels from automatic reference stations. It is shown that NO_2<
