Curious citizens measure their exposure to air pollution in Brussels. And they take action! 5 AirCasters explain in a video why they act to demand clean air.  

Research driven by the users of a city, inclusive and scalable. That’s what constitutes a smart living lab. BRAL combined the experiences and guidelines with its international partners in a publication and a film.

Nicola da Schio, member of BRAL and long-time partner in one of our first citizen science project on air quality, Smarterlabs, wrote an article for Habitatmap about his lessons learned.

The results of CurieuzenAir are coming! BRAL is happy to invite you to an information session about CurieuzenAir in your neighbourhood.

Citizen science. Collective knowledge empowers is the result of two years of measuring Brussels air quality by citizen groups together with BRAL and Cosmopolis VUB.

AirCasting sensors allow for real-time measurement of exposure to pollutants in the air, enabling Brussels residents to become researchers in a collective learning and action project. Together we answer the question "Where are we most at risk?"
