摘要

Air pollution is one of the most important environmental health problems in the Netherlands. Friends of the Earth (FoE) Netherlands set up the 'Together for Healthy Air' project to engage citizens in air quality measurements and to put air quality on the political agenda. RIVM, the Dutch national institute for public health and the environment, works on air quality monitoring and analyses. The two institutes have a shared goal of providing the public with information on air quality and have cooperated in this citizen science project. Citizens were engaged by FoE and together measurement locations were selected. NO2 measurements were carried out using Palmes diffusion tubes for one year (13 periods). RIVM calculated air quality concentrations using standard models for air quality. Measurement and model results were compared. Participants provided metadata on the measurements and evaluated the campaign. On average, an annual concentration of 31 ug/m3 NO2 was measured. At twelve locations the EU limit value of 40,5 ug/m3 was exceeded. Comparability of measurements and model results was generally well, although a few large differences were found. Differences between measured and modelled values can be caused by errors in measurement, model parameters or model input data. Participants were generally satisfied with the campaign. Air pollution still exceeded limit values at several locations. The value of the citizen air quality measurement campaign was considerable for all parties. In addition to providing potentially valuable measurement data, the campaign engaged and informed citizens, brought science and society closer together and raised political attention.
