- This article is an analysis of participatory research on air pollution sensing with residents of northeastern Pennsylvania concerned about the effects of hydraulic fracturing. This work is significant because we develop a new framework for making sense of citizen-gathered data which relies on “Just Good Enough Data”. This has had a significant impact on the field of Citizen Science. In addition the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection launched an unprecedented expansion of its air pollution-monitoring programme, in response to this research and it was awarded the prestigious John Ziman Award from European Association for the Study of Science and Technology.
