⇳ 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. Shrubby and leafy lichens only survive in clean air, and when an area is really polluted you will not find anyone.
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.

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. Shrubby and leafy lichens only survive in clean air, and when an area is really polluted you will not find anyone.
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.
