The Web App is central to the #SAMHE project. It allows pupils and teachers to see the #AirQuality in their classroom and explore it, developing scientific skills and knowledge. They also use it to submit valuable contextual data. As @sbcode.bsky.social explains, it's #CitizenScience at its best!

"The quality of digital tools can make or break a #CitizenScience project." @sbcode.bsky.social from SEI York's #InclusiveCitSci group shares how #codesign led to the development of a bespoke web app, created with and for teachers, pupils and scientists: 📹️ buff.ly/9w7Ws8g #CitizenScienceMonth

A significant blind spot remains in the UK's #PublicHealth strategy: we're still failing to regular the #AirQuality of our indoor environments, despite spending 90% of our lives there. @sarahwestsei.bsky.social addresses the issue in the latest issue of Government Business magazine: buff.ly/riAzAKC

Why indoor air quality is the next public health frontier

"A significant blind spot remains in our national health strategy " writes Sarah West in Government Business magazine.

This is a great tool for estimating the impacts of air cleaners in nat vent UK schools. Unlike most air cleaner selection tools which just size on clean air delivery rate CHEPA also considers the energy aspects depending on local climate.
