This study leverages crowdsourced urban climate data to provide more inclusive and granular insights into urban heat dynamics, addressing gaps in traditional monitoring that often overlook marginalized communities. By harnessing freely available citizen science observations, the method supports the World Population Day theme of "To Leave No One Behind, Count Everyone," enabling more equitable and comprehensive data to inform sustainable urban development and climate resilience.

A brief external-facing summary: As a result of anthropogenic climate change, an alteration in the air mixture has occurred over time. These changes have increased human exposures to respiratory irritants such as ground-level ozone, volatile organic compounds, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Regarding aeroallergens, studies have shown that elevated temperatures and increased carbon dioxide levels have produced prolonged and more robust pollen seasons for most taxa studied.
