 I will also pay attention to building surfaces and soils for any resilient beings that grow in such conditions, searching for their ‘symbiotic assemblages.’ I will record other sound and smell elements at the sites of the housing blocks and former and current oil shale power plants in Narva.

+== '''Compact, Affordable Devices''' (under ~€250) ==
+=== 🔸 '''Temtop M10 or M2000 Series''' ===
+* '''Measures''': PM2.5, PM10, CO₂, formaldehyde, temperature, humidity.
+* '''Price''': €100–€250
+* '''Pros''': Easy to use, reliable for field comparisons.
+* '''Limitations''': Lower-end models don’t include CO₂.
+=== 🔸 '''Aranet4 Home (for CO₂, Temp, RH)''' ===
+* '''Measures''': CO₂, temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure.
+* '''Price''': ~€250
+* '''Pros''': Bluetooth connectivity, long battery life, easy data export.
+* '''Used by researchers''' for indoor/outdoor air studies.
+=== 🔸 '''Qingping Air Monitor Lite''' ===
+* '''Measures''': PM2.5, PM10, CO₂, temp, humidity.
+* '''Price''': ~€100–150
+* '''Compact and App-connected''' (iOS/Android).
+=== 🔸 '''Atmotube Pro''' ===
+* '''Measures''': PM1, PM2.5, PM10, VOCs, CO₂, temp, humidity, barometric pressure.
+* '''Price''': ~€200
+* '''Portable''': clips onto your bag and logs data via smartphone app.
+* Good for '''outdoor urban environments'''.
+----
+== 📱 '''Free or Low-Cost Mobile Apps & Add-ons''' ==
+These don’t replace physical sensors, but can help gather '''crowdsourced or modelled air quality data''' or link with external devices:
+=== ✅ '''AirVisual / IQAir App''' ===
+* Shows '''real-time AQI, PM2.5, CO₂''' from nearby stations.
+* '''Does not measure directly''', but useful for context.
+=== ✅ '''Plume Labs: Air Report''' ===
+* Real-time AQI & pollution forecasts.
+* Good for mapping air exposure during your walks.
+=== ✅ '''iPhone + external sensors (e.g., Flow 2 or Aranet4)''' ===
+* Plug-and-play with Bluetooth.
+* Can sync with '''Strava-style apps''' for geolocating pollution data.
+=== '''1. Physical and Chemical Factors (Scientific/Environmental)''' ===
+These are the measurable, often instrumental aspects:
+* '''Pollutant types:'''
+** '''PM2.5 / PM10''' (fine particulate matter)
+** '''CO₂''' (carbon dioxide)
+** '''NO₂''' (nitrogen dioxide)
+** '''SO₂''' (sulfur dioxide)
+** '''O₃''' (ozone)
+** '''VOCs''' (volatile organic compounds)
+** '''Lead''', '''mercury''', etc. (in some industrial contexts)
+* '''Meteorological conditions:'''
+** '''Temperature'''
+** '''Humidity'''
+** '''Wind direction/speed'''
+** '''Atmospheric pressure'''
+** '''Inversions''' (which trap pollution near the surface)
+* '''Temporal variations:'''
+** Time of day
+** Seasonal patterns
+** Long-term trends (post-regulation, post-industry, etc.)
+----
+=== 🗺️ '''2. Spatial Factors (Where and How Pollution Moves)''' ===
+* '''Source identification:'''
+** Local: factories, vehicles, stoves
+** Regional: agricultural burn-off, industrial zones
+** Transboundary: drifting pollution from neighboring countries
+* '''Topography:'''
+** Valleys often trap air pollution
+** Elevation and land use influence dispersion
+* '''Drift and accumulation:'''
+** How air travels across borders, oceans, or rural/urban divides
+----
+=== ⚖️ '''3. Socio-Political and Economic Factors''' ===
+* '''Environmental policy and regulation:'''
+** EU standards, WHO thresholds, national air quality laws
+** Enforcement gaps, loopholes, or selective monitoring
+* '''Inequity of exposure:'''
+** Environmental racism/classism (who breathes dirtier air?)
+** Urban vs. rural or industrial vs. residential exposure
+* '''Industrial history and economic transition:'''
+** What closed? What opened?
+** How has industry shaped the airscape (e.g. Narva)?
+* '''Data transparency and opacity:'''
+** What is measured and shared (or hidden)?
+** Whose air is considered legitimate or monitored?
+----
+=== 👃 '''4. Sensory and Experiential Factors''' ===
+* '''Smell, visibility, bodily perception:'''
+** Irritation, heaviness, temperature shifts, “dustiness”
+* '''Cultural and symbolic meanings:'''
+** Clean vs. polluted
+** Air as life vs. air as weapon
+* '''Atmospheric aesthetics:'''
+** How air and pollution shape a place’s look and feel
