Air Quality Monitoring for Wildfire Smoke

Protecting public health during wildfires
In the face of climate change and increasing environmental disasters like wildfires, there is a growing need for resilient air quality monitoring infrastructure. Traditional air quality monitors often rely on vulnerable infrastructures like WiFi and electrical grids, which can easily fail during disasters, leaving us without accurate information about air quality.

To address this challenge, low-cost air sensors provide a cost-effective solution. Air quality sensor networks can provide accurate, local, real-time air pollution data and withstand harsh conditions to continue operating even when power and internet connectivity infrastructures fail.

With an air quality sensor network you can:

• Access localized air quality data at the neighborhood level
• Enable informed decision-making to protect public health
• Support environmental justice efforts
