The Data

Hosts

There are many websites which host pollution sensor data from around the world. These are mostly made by hobbyists, but some businesses too. Some are:

• Sensor Community
• Smart Citizen
• Open Sense Map
• Airly

Sensor Community

For this project we will be using Sensor Community. For more info on how to set this up, see Getting Started.

If you would like to use the data they collect, you can access it via their APIs. For a guide, see Sensor Community's wiki:

Airly

You could also use data from other sites above. For example, Airly has around 50 sensors in the Birmingham area. They have documentation on their API at:
