Sensor-y Walks: exploring air pollution in Oxford

Environment Themed

What’s on offer?

A guided 20 minute walk, departing from the Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford, using air sensors to see how pollution varies in locations across the city centre. Afterwards, stay for a discussion back at the Museum about what we've discovered and what we can do to help tackle air pollution. Event lasts around 50 minutes in total. Accessible route. Event will still run if it rains, though not if it pours! Also running at 10:30 and 14:30.

What’s it about?

During this event we will share personal experiences of air pollution and, together, test out different types of air sensors, exploring air quality in real-time as we walk through the city.

Who’s leading the event?

Kayla Schulte, Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science, University of Oxford
