While previous research mostly focused on technical aspects, this thesis brings participants to the foreground and articulates their experiences. It aims to evaluate if low-cost sensing technologies are fit-for-purpose in environmental health studies from a user perspective. This work included studying their motivations, needs, expectations, experiences and changes in behaviour and gaining feedback on the used devices, campaigns and data visualization. The thesis reviews the citizen science literature and summarizes functional features of tools that meet volunteer expectations and help retain their long-term interest in citizen science projects.J.
