⇳ Description
Lichens are sensitive to air pollution, specially the air's acidity. Therefore, the presence or absence can be used to see how clean the air is.
The goal of this application is to help to analyze, classify and measure the size of the lichens in order to study the quality of air in different areas of the cities.
➠ Purpose
This is a demo project that shows potential of the pyBossa platform.
? Research question
Can the correlation between Biomarkers(Lichens) and air composition produce a reliable map of air quality?
Is pyBossa a good platform for crowdcrafting ?

PROJECT DEFINITION
Subject
Natural sciences > Air pollution (nature/conservation)
Description
Lichens are sensitive to air pollution, specially the air's acidity. Therefore, the presence or absence can be used to see how clean the air is.
The goal of this application is to help to analyze, classify and measure the size of the lichens in order to study the quality of air in different areas of the cities.
Purpose.
This is a demo project that shows potential of the pyBossa platform.
Research question.
Can the correlation between Biomarkers(Lichens) and air composition produce a reliable map of air quality?
Is pyBossa a good platform for crowdcrafting ?
