Here’s a running list of AQ data related projects I’ve compiled over the past year (should be editable to add to; I’ll check to confirm that the links above are included): [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Zp-w2MLP2D0P4Z41g\_MpbstnqqsEosr-r8nbZ3V8cYA/edit](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Zp-w2MLP2D0P4Z41g_MpbstnqqsEosr-r8nbZ3V8cYA/edit)

I helped build “[aqdatacommons.org](http://aqdatacommons.org)” which is a clearinghouse for AQ projects by the Environmental Defense Fund.

Some unshipped old Code for Philly efforts in this space that would-be hackers might find some useful scraps in:

- [https://codeforphilly.org/projects/Mobile\_pollution\_and\_heat\_island\_data\_collection\_and\_mapping](https://codeforphilly.org/projects/Mobile_pollution_and_heat_island_data_collection_and_mapping)
  - designed a custom low-cost PCB for sensors

- [https://github.com/CodeForPhilly/vehicle-mounted-sensors](https://github.com/CodeForPhilly/vehicle-mounted-sensors)
  - prototyped Arduino+LoRaWAN sensor reporting to a [map+time dashboard](http://machineq.poplar.phl.io/data-points)

@nFlourish Wow, this is new to me! Who did you work with at EDF? We’re working with some folks from there and I’m surprised no one’s mentioned it!
