Testing Smart City environmental monitoring technology using small scale temporary cities

Exposure to particulate matter has been identified as a major health problem worldwide. Established measurement<br> techniques require equipment costing many thousands of dollars and specialist expertise to maintain. Ongoing research<br> is investigating the use of low cost &lt;$300 sensors to enable greater temporal-spatial density of readings to be taken. There<br> are questions about the suitability and reliability of these low-cost sensors, queries which can be addressed by deploying<br> and evaluating the sensors in a real world application. We propose festival site as small scale cities to enable a short term<br> deployments and evaluation of sensors. We present data from these devices and experiences gained from using a festival site as a substitute for a city. 1 - timeLapse: mp4 file presenting a time lapse of the measurements realised during the festival<br> 2 - sensor_data: csv file containing the 5 min averaged data from all the sensors deployed and their coordinates used to generate the graph and the maps in the paper
