ABSTRACT
In this paper, we present SecondNose, an air quality mobile crowdsensing service, aimed at collecting environmental data to monitor some air pollution indicators to foster participants' reflection on their overall exposure to pollutants. Currently, SecondNose aggregates more than 30k data points daily from 80 citizens in Trento, northern Italy. The paper describes the system and the results of an initial evaluation. We conclude with an outline of future work on the research and development of SecondNose.

Enabling low-cost particulate matter measurement for participatory sensing scenarios
MUM '13: Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous MultimediaThis paper presents a mobile, low-cost particulate matter sensing approach for the use in Participatory Sensing scenarios. It shows that cheap commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) dust sensors can be used in distributed or mobile personal measurement devices ...
Retrofitting smartphones to be used as particulate matter dosimeters
ISWC '13: Proceedings of the 2013 International Symposium on Wearable ComputersThis work discusses ways of measuring particulate matter with mobile devices. Solutions using a dedicated sensor device are presented along with a novel method of retrofitting a sensor to a camera phone without need for electrical modifications. Instead,...
Real-time air quality monitoring through mobile sensing in metropolitan areas
UrbComp '13: Proceedings of the 2nd ACM SIGKDD International Workshop on Urban ComputingTraditionally, pollution measurements are performed using expensive equipment at fixed locations or dedicated mobile equipment laboratories. This is a coarse-grained and expensive approach where the pollution measurements are few and far in-between. In ...
