Breeze Technologies is creating a citizen-driven air quality sensing network in the district Rothenburgsort in Hamburg, Germany. Citizens are able to access hyperlocal data about local emissions, such as ozone, particulate matter, nitric oxides, carbon monoxide and ammonia via a web platform. Additionally, a daily email newsletter is available, informing about past and future air quality and suggesting behavioral changes to lessen their own impact on urban air pollution. Sensors are installed on private property to allow a faster and more agile project development cycle. Breeze Technologies identifies "hosts" for sensors through social media campaigns and calls through local initiatives and city officials.
Citizens "host" air quality sensors on their private property and can access local air quality through an easy to use web application.
