During this Citizen Sense workshop, we will discuss air quality in London, and look at low-cost technologies that citizens can use to monitor their environments. We will introduce workshop participants to our Dustbox particulate matter 2.5 monitor, which we will also make available for checkout at the Deptford Lounge and Library.

We will also take a walk in Deptford to look at sites for air quality monitoring. After the walk, we will return to the Buster Mantis Creative Space for food and refreshments, where we will also hand out the Dustboxes for participants to use in their local environments.

The event will be led by Jennifer Gabrys, Helen Pritchard and Lara Houston of Citizen Sense.

Guest speakers will include:
Leonie Cooper, Councillor for Furzedown Ward in Wandsworth, and the Labour London Assembly for Merton & Wandsworth, as well as Chair of the Environment Committee.

Abigail Whitehouse, Clinical Research Fellow, Blizard Institute, Queen Mary University of London

Samantha Heath, Chief Executive, London Sustainability Exchange.
