Pollution sensing and diagnosis have long been separated from the people most impacted by them. It was conducted by specialists with expensive and scarce equipment. As a result, testing was infrequent and decisions on mitigation were made by central planners with limited access to data. Worse yet, individuals with the ability to dramatically limit dangerous exposure via minor changes in behavior have been left blind to the relationship between their daily actions and exposure to pollution. Advances in computing, sensing, and wireless communication technologies have the potential to allow those most affected by pollution to participate in pollution sensing, rational cost assessment, and mitigation.This project focuses on developing a distributed mobile system for socially-collaborative environmental monitoring, which greatly reduces the problem of environmental sensing data scarcity, supports richer environmental sensing data analysis, and enables better environment awareness and protection via social collaboration. This project will develop a system composed of inexpensive sensing and computation devices purchased by individuals for their own edification and protection. These embedded systems will communicate with each other and aggregate data, enabling multi-sensor localization of pollutionsources and quantification of the potential damage by each polluter. By measuring pollution and modeling its impact, it will be possible to associate pollution sources with the costs they impose. Furthermore distributed networking will allow individuals to actively participate in and socially collaborate on environmental monitoring and protection.

长期以来，污染传感和诊断一直与受其影响最大的人群分离。它是由专家用昂贵和稀缺的设备进行的。因此，很少进行测试，关于缓解的决定是由获得数据有限的中央计划者作出的。更糟糕的是，那些有能力通过微小的行为改变来极大地限制危险暴露的人，却对他们的日常行为与暴露于污染之间的关系视而不见。计算、传感和无线通信技术的进步有可能使受污染影响最严重的人参与污染传感、合理的成本评估和缓解。本项目重点开发分布式移动环境监测社会协同系统，大大减少环境传感数据稀缺的问题，支持更丰富的环境传感数据分析，通过社会协同实现更好的环境意识和环境保护。该项目将开发一个由个人购买的廉价传感和计算设备组成的系统，用于自己的教育和保护。这些嵌入式系统将相互通信并汇总数据，使污染源的多传感器定位和每个污染者的潜在损害量化成为可能。通过测量污染并模拟其影响，将有可能将污染源与其造成的成本联系起来。此外，分布式网络将允许个人积极参与并在环境监测和保护方面进行社会合作。
