The volunteer shall help us hang around the city pollution-detection samplers for a citizen science project called "No2 No Thanks", promoted by the NGO Cittadini per l'Aria. Through this project we will build a map of the Nitrogen Oxide (No2) pollution around the city of Milano. We have several samplers that need to be hanged on poles around the city at the hight of 2.50m (if needed, we will bring stairs, etc. to reach that hight).
We are looking for committed and motivated citizens who are willing to walk around the city and help us in this activity.
The samplers will then stay in position for a month, the time to absorb enough NO2 and for scientists, later on, to assess the average of pollution concentration.
Many thanks in advance to whoever wants to help us!!!
