This paper presents an ongoing research project proposing a DIY environmental sensing approach that empowers citizens to reinvigorate their awareness of, and concern for, pollution. To test the thesis, PAIR, a prototype with interchangeable gas sensor, was developed. Our main focus was on sensing environment on-the-go to provide users with immediate feedback. Finally, we identify the main benefits amateur data collection and participatory sensing represent for urban dwellers.
