Introduction
Citizen science is a rapidly growing field that involves members of the public in scientific research projects. One area where citizen science has been particularly successful is in the monitoring of air quality. With the rise of pollution levels in many urban areas, monitoring air quality has become increasingly important for public health and environmental protection. Citizen science protocols for air quality monitoring have the potential to provide valuable data on pollution levels and help to inform policy decisions.
This project aims to explore the various citizen science protocols that are being used for air quality monitoring, as well as their strengths and limitations. By examining the existing literature on this topic and conducting a research study, this project seeks to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on citizen science and air quality monitoring.

Project Overview
Air pollution is a significant environmental issue that poses serious health risks to populations around the world. Monitoring air quality is essential for understanding the sources and levels of pollution, as well as for informing policy decisions aimed at reducing pollution levels. Citizen science protocols for air quality monitoring have emerged as a valuable tool for engaging the public in environmental monitoring and data collection.
This project will explore the various citizen science protocols that are being used for air quality monitoring, with a focus on their effectiveness, limitations, and potential for future development. By conducting a review of the existing literature and implementing a research study, this project aims to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on citizen science and air quality monitoring.
Through an in-depth analysis of the literature, research methodology, findings, and discussion, this project will provide valuable insights into the role of citizen science in air quality monitoring. The conclusion and summary will highlight the key findings of the study, discuss their implications for policy and practice, and offer recommendations for future research in this important field.
