Harmonization and Visualization of Data from a Transnational Multi-Sensor Personal Exposure Campaign

Use of a multi-sensor approach can provide citizens with holistic insights into the air quality of their immediate surroundings and their personal exposure to urban stressors. Our work, as part of the ICARUS H2020 project, which included over 600 participants from seven European cities, discusses th...
