Abstract
Air pollution is the world’s deadliest environmental risk factor. Yet there is little effort to educate the public about personal exposure to pollutants such as particulate matter (PM). I would write it a bit different: This paper presents the design and implementation of a portable sensor box (PSB) to collect local, spatially highly resolved particulate matter data. To counteract common inaccuracies in mobile particulate matter measurements, data were aggregated and cleaned according to their location in a real-world investigation. We employed parameter mapping to develop a real-time, interactive and intuitive, yet scientifically accurate sonification of the data. The sonification was made accessible to listeners within a test area in Potsdam using a physical prototype. Through the implementation of a scripted exposure design, we investigated realistic, comparable statements and evaluation by the participants about the sonification device and the sonification.
