The next level, which is kind of moderate, which is, you know, it's not good, but it's still okay to be in this air. A bit more kind of red lights are flashing around, pink and red. And then the higher it (pollution) gets, the whole thing becomes more and more red, to the point where the whole cape is red basically and that means that actually the pollution is very high.\"Molga was funded by environmental activists Invisible Dust to work with environmental scientists at Kings College London.Andrew Grieve is senior air quality analyst at King's College London. He works with the London Air Quality Monitoring Network, a group of fixed monitoring stations around the British capital.Installed two years ago, the monitors are looking at how much pollution people are exposed to as they move through the city, from clean to areas where the air has been contaminated.Grieve has a personal monitor with him on this trip so he can demonstrate the differences between air quality within a short distance.The team was directly involved in developing the 'Human Sensor' cape.Grieve says: \"What we wanted to do on this project was make pollution visible, in a sense, and make it visible on the street where people are, where people are exposed, where the public is and really show people how pollution can change even from a junction to a park next to it.\"Molga's inspiration for the Human Sensor came from her experience as an asthma sufferer.  She says: \"During this time there was a very hot summer full of smog, I'd been sitting on the window and I got a really bad asthma attack for the first time after ten years. And that's when I started thinking about how can I convey that message that we are those human sensors which can sense different environmental changes in the air first, prior to healthy people.\"Grieve tests for nitrous oxides and measures four particulate matter including PM10, PM2.5 and ozone. Back in his lab he checks the results of his brief walk around the university.A graph shows how pollution levels changed at every minute.Weather conditions make an obvious difference.On cold still days, the pollution doesn't move and it's more dangerous, particularly for asthma sufferers and others with lung diseases.Windy days break up the pollution.Grieve says: \"The government has an index of one to ten, low to high and we have had, we tend to have about three, or four episodes a year where we'll get high or very high pollution depending on what happening with the atmospherics.\"Pointing to the graph he explains: \"I think this is when we switched it on and we were outside King's College here.\"He continues: \"Then we moved to the roundabout and that's this larger peak here which is about thirteen micrograms and that's when we saw those coaches and buses and taxis going past us. This is us when we were on the blustery windy Waterloo Bridge and this is when we walked back round the Imax and back into King's again.\"Summing up Grieve says: \"The annual limit for PM2.5 particulates is twenty five micrograms as an annual mean. Now obviously this is recording every minute so it's difficult to make an extrapolation, but you can see that, you know, just being closer to the traffic at the roundabout really gives you a significant kind of spike over what you experience even on the bridge. It was a very windy day today, but despite that wind we still saw some significant peaks closer to the traffic than we did further away.\"Researchers say while there is an obvious need to bring down levels of harmful gases overall, by highlighting the worst areas gives people a chance to exercise some control over their health.London UK - 27 September 20161.
