DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\nPoor air and water quality adversely affects human 
 health and environmental monitoring is now carried out in cities across th
 e world in order to improve the health of populations and to meet regulato
 ry requirements. However\, our current knowledge of the air and water qual
 ity where we live\, work and play\, is limited due to the fact that existi
 ng monitoring technologies are often large and expensive to operate or hig
 hly labour-intensive. New methods such as lab-on-a-chip technologies\, wir
 eless sensor networks and robotics offer the potential to generate real-ti
 me and extremely local\, even personal\, environmental exposure date. In t
 he future\, these technologies could become the platform which will drive 
 our understanding of environmental quality and its impact on health. In th
 is presentation\, Alistair Boxall will provide an overview of work being d
 one at York to develop novel approaches to detect and monitor pollutants i
 n city environments. He will describe the YorkSense project which is instr
 umenting the city of York with a variety of new technologies in order to g
 enerate an unprecedented dataset on environmental quality in the city from
  2015-2016.\n
