The group wanted the map to be (17) .......... even to people with little scientific knowledge.
Every sensor is (18) .......... checked whenever it sends an unusual value.
The organisers avoid (19) .......... claims about what a single reading can show.
The site includes a (20) .......... guide to common sources of pollution.
The volunteers work with (21) .......... who can explain the data in schools.
A reading may be (22) .......... if the sensor has not been cleaned recently.
The network has encouraged more (23) .......... about local environmental decisions.
Its main strength is the (24) .......... with which people can compare nearby streets.
The project’s guidance encourages users to compare several readings before drawing a conclusion. It also explains why a sensor placed near a road, a wall or a delivery point may show a different pattern from one only a short distance away.
The network also publishes simple maintenance advice so that volunteers can recognise when a sensor needs attention. This reduces the risk that an avoidable technical problem will be mistaken for a change in local conditions.
The guidance is reviewed whenever users report a recurring difficulty with a device.

Citizen air-quality network — Part 3: Word Formation
"Citizen air-quality network" focuses on Word Formation (Part 3), where a base word in capitals must be transformed to fit a gap in the text. Cambridge tests prefixation, suffixation, internal changes and negative forms. Before writing, identify the word class required (noun, adjective, adverb or verb) and whether the sentence needs a negative or comparative form. Spelling accuracy matters — an otherwise correct stem with a typo scores zero.
