Underpinnings of Decision Support Instruments Communications Data validity and data management Data products and dissemination Decisions ObserveDataInformationAction

Government – AirNow Program AirNow is the national system* for acquiring and distributing air quality information in real time Observations 400+ Forecasts Data Maps and Forecasts AirNow.gov *Funded by U.S. EPA IngestProcessDistribute Data Management Center All 50 state and more than 90 local agencies 4

Decisions Using AirNow’s Information 5 Public: make decisions about exposure using AirNow.gov Media: inform and alert the public Industry: use data to make decisions Research: develop real-time applications

Industry – New Tech. Helping Address Old Problems Issue: Coal dust at power plants Potential solution: Can low-cost sensors be used to detect blowing dust? Evaluation study: –Reference station –New air sensors –Weather station 6

7 PM sensors detect short burst of dust (1- 2 mins) Hourly data from reference instrument shows increase in PM Industry – New Tech. Helping Address Old Problems PM 10 (ug/m 3 ) Particle Count (Hpcf)

Personal Air Measurements Air quality sensors used by everybody Characteristics: –Low-cost –Portable –Accuracy can vary Applications: –Improve family health –Precise public health –Better research 8

Kids Making Sense – An educational program that teaches youth to measure pollution using air quality sensors and to interpret the data they collect. STEM Education With Air Sensors LearnMeasureDiscoverInterpret 9

10 Key Findings Kids Making Sense in Sacramento, CA Student results: faculty lot had higher PM levels from school buses and delivery trucks, while PM increased throughout the day in the main lot. 10
