22 Typically, permanent air pollution monitors are placed at the height of an average male, in order to record the quality of the air they breathe.
23
24 As well as excluding females who are on average shorter than males, there is a large difference between the recorded air quality heights and the quality of air breathed by children, and wheelchair users. There is a serious need to address this disparity because presently our knowledge of air pollution and health impacts is limited to the air breathed by adult men who are not in wheelchairs. 
25
26 This indicator therefore attempts to remedy this injustice by measuring air quality at differing heights.
