Slides for this video: http://www.networkforcleanair.org.uk/Digital-Analogue-Active-Approaches/Putney-Air-Pollution-Campaign-slides.ppt Produced by Network for Clean Air (http://www.cleanairuk.org).

Jonathan Callaway from the Putney Society (http://www.putneysociety.org.uk/) in south west London, describes their air pollution campaign and the use of air monitoring in a 'citizen science' project. The talk was organised by Network for Clean Air (http://www.cleanairuk.org) and given at the Hub Westminster, London on Wednesday 8 May 2013.

The Putney Society measured air quality using nitrogen dioxide (NO2) gas diffusion tubes and produced a map showing air pollution in and around Putney High Street. Their year long campaign persuaded Wandsworth borough council to respond which eventually lead to lower emission buses being introduced.

Note: This talk was part 2 of 3 parts of a presentation entitled 'Digital, Analogue and Active Approaches for Better Air Quality (including Air Quality Egg)'. See event details: http://cleanairuk.eventbrite.com and location: http://http://westminster.the-hub.net/
