Citizen Science in Air Pollution Monitoring: Methodological Approaches, Effectiveness, and Integration with Health Research.
Review in Current environmental health reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purpose of reviewThis review critically examines the role of citizen science in air-pollution monitoring and its integration into environmental health research. It explores how participatory approaches, including low-cost sensors and community co-creation, can enhance spatial resolution, public engagement, and environmental justice, while assessing data quality, health relevance, and scalability. RECENT
findingsRecent studies document the expanding global deployment of citizen science air quality monitoring networks. Advances in calibration algorithms, wearable technologies, and participatory data-collection methods have strengthened capacity to assess real-time exposure. Several projects demonstrate the increasing technical sophistication and policy relevance of citizen-generated air quality data. Citizen science provides hyperlocal insights into air quality and exposure, strengthens risk communication, and contributes to health-impact assessment. Although challenges remain regarding data reliability, representativeness, and policy uptake, emerging approaches, including AI-assisted calibration and distributed sensor networks, offer promising pathways forward. An integrative framework can support sustained community engagement and evidence-informed action to improve air quality.
