This lifelike doll is lending a hand to scientists who study air quality in Antwerp, Belgium.

She's called Claire and her name is an acronym for 'Clean Air for Everyone'.

Electronic sensors in Claire's pushchair monitor the air for pollutants from cars and factories.

Claire's volunteer carers are taking her for a stroll through Antwerp's heavy traffic.

Belgium has a population of just 11 million, but is one of the most harmful polluters in Europe.

Air pollution is responsible for around 7 million deaths worldwide each year.

Roeland Samson researches air pollution at the University of Antwerp.

Veerle Bonaers is one of the project's volunteer walkers.

She explains her reasons for getting involved.
