Researchers and Communities
Working Together
In cities, we are all connected through the environment around us.
Everyone breathes the same air, walks through the same parks, and can be exposed to the same contaminants. Understanding contamination of soil, water, and dust within urban environments is a difficult or impossible task alone.
By working together, researchers and communities can pool their efforts, resources, and talents to tackle this complex issue.
Locally-Invested
Information and data visualized by this project are generated through local collaboration between communities, citizen scientists, universities, and government agencies. So, while the map is global, the efforts that make it possible are grassroots and local.
Healthier Together
Working together we can make our cities healthier and safer for everyone. Join a project around you today to learn more about the soil, dust, or water around your home or city.
Living Data
Living data means what you see on a map is the most up-to-date information available. As new samples are submitted and analyzed, the information you see for each city will expand and improve. So, check back often to look for new results!
