Air Quality Programme
Project Healthy Air
Project Healthy Air aims to build science-based understanding and knowledge about air quality.
The project brings new thinking and a fresh approach where students, as Citizen Scientists and teachers as Citizen Science Leaders observe and monitor air quality data, understand and interpret air quality information and facilitate data visualization and analysis with the help of experts and scientists.
The project aims to:
- Promote air quality understanding and appreciation
- Understanding the causes and sources of air pollution
- Create students’ interest in accessing real-time air quality data and information, and make learning interesting
- Promote small positive steps to help improve air quality.

STEM Education
Earthwatch Institute India partners with schools and colleges to introduce air quality sensors, making the STEM curriculum more engaging in the classroom and encouraging students to participate in an open-source air quality data project, which fosters interest and enthusiasm for accessing real-time air quality data. Project Healthy Air assists teachers in developing a creative and innovative STEM curriculum that motivates students.
E-Learning Resources and Digital Citizen Science
Project Healthy Air is supported by a rich collection of e-learning resources, audio-visuals, air quality sensors and monitors and interactive programmes designed to help learners understand air quality and ways to keep the air clean. Students and teachers use digital tools, web and mobile-based applications to develop a scientific understanding of air quality while interacting with scientists and supporting scientific research programmes.
As a Citizen Scientist, you can measure the following data sets using an educational air quality sensor:
| Data Set 1 | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Date | Time | Particulate Matter PM2.5 | PM10 | Carbon Dioxide (CO2) | Temperature | Humidity |
| - | - | - | - | - | - | - |
| Data Set 2 | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Date | Time | Particulate Matter PM 1 | Ozone (O3) | Carbon Monoxide (CO) | Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) | Nitrogen Oxide (NO) |
| - | - | - | - | - | - | - |
| Sulfur | Dioxide (SO2) | Methane (CH4) | Benzene (C6H6) | Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) | ||
| - | - | - | - | - | - | - |
| Mercury (Hg) | Ammonia (NH3) | UV Radiation | Rainfall | |||
