Abstract/Resumen

Did you know that we could use plants as sensors to monitor the air quality and pollution in our cities? The Ibercivis Foundation together with the Pyrenean Institute of Ecology has developed the “Vigilantes del Aire” project to measure air quality in Spain. Using citizen science, samples from 205 municipalities in 26 Spanish provinces were successfully obtained and processed.
