Towards the Development of a Sensor Educational Toolkit to Support Community and Citizen Science.

ABSTRACT: As air quality sensors increasingly become commercially available, a deeper consideration of their usability and usefulness is needed to ensure effective application by the public. Much of the research related to sensors has focused on data quality and potential applications. While this information is important, a greater understanding of users' experience with sensors would provide complementary information. Under a U.S. EPA-funded Science to Achieve Results grant awarded to the South Coast Air Quality Management District in California, titled "Engage, Educate, and Empower California Communities on the Use and Applications of Low-Cost Air Monitoring Sensors", approximately 400 air quality sensors were deployed with 14 California communities. These communities received sensors and training
