Air pollution is now fully acknowledged to be a significant public health problem, responsible for a growing range of health effects that are well documented.
Achieving the right public attitude, awareness and behaviour by the use of optimal air pollution monitoring, forecasting and reporting will go some way towards creating a healthier environment.
Over the past ten years Mapping for Change has been supporting community-based air quality monitoring with the view to increase awareness and encourage citizen-led change supported by wider action.
This work has been documented in our Air Quality Story Map and a lot of the communities’ data has been shared on the Community Air Quality Map.

Maps
Maps can show you where you are. But a good map can also show you where you want to go, and how to get there.
With a map, you can communicate, analyse and enact change. We work with communities to achieve social and environmental change in their local area.
Citizen Science
Environmental problems affect us all. Citizen Science can give you a voice. Let’s collect the data we need to raise awareness and fight for change.
Low tech and affordable methods mean that everyone within a community can get involved and become a citizen scientist.
Community Engagement
Does your organisation work with community groups? We can design and implement a unique engagement approach, tailored to your particular requirements.
With over 15 years experience in the community and voluntary sector, we understand how to reach and involve people.
Map Visualisation & Analysis
Space is complicated. Map visualisation & analysis can help you to understand and discover what’s going on.
We have expertise in the use of Geographical Information Systems, and we can apply it to meet your needs.
Online Mapping Platforms
It’s good to collaborate. Contribute, share and discuss your ideas about the places that matter with Community Maps, our online participatory mapping platform.
Community Maps provides an effective tool for community and multi-stakeholder consultation across a range of projects and sectors.
