Urban Citizen Science Programme
The Citizen Scientists at St Helen's Catholic Primary - Brixton - Summer 2017
Recent Projects - June / July 2017
The Urban Citizen Science program was delivered to 23 year 5 pupils at St Helen's School in Brixton.
The school is situated next to a main road in central Brixton, one of Lambeth's air quality hot spots, and the local council have been working with them on strategies for reducing pupils' exposure to air pollution in arrange of ways, including a formal air quality monitoring program (for both NO2 and particulate matter) and plans to install a 'green screen' of plants on the wall between the playground and Brixton Road.
