Small Sensors and Citizen Science What is AirNow’s Role?

Overview AIRNow Satellite Data Processor (ASDP) – Data fusion concept Global Ozone Initiative (GO3) ORD initiatives – Next Generation Air Monitoring (NGAM) – Village Green Other potential citizen science applications 2

3 Instruments versus Cost Consumer Air Quality Instruments Organization (EBAM ) Hobbyist/School (microAeth) Agency (FEM ) User Community Estimated Equipment Cost Past 30 years 10 years 5 years Goal EBAM = Environmental beta attenuation monitor; FEM = Federal Equivalent Method; Aeth = Aethalometer

Global Ozone Initiative Schools buy a $600 kit to monitor ozone Worked with STI to allow that data to flow into a separate AirNow database STI has done analysis showing the GO3 data compares well with standard ozone instruments 4

ASDP: Project Objectives Improve operational air quality maps currently in AIRNow and make them available 24 hrs a day every day Provide satellite data products in AIRNow-Tech – Initially PM2.5, but limited only by available satellite instruments Improve tools for air quality forecasting 5 Without satellite data, contouring would not be possible in the hatched areas.

Preliminary Results: Smoke and No Monitors (Kansas) 6 Smoke in Nebraska (MODIS and AOD) No Monitors ASDP adds information (Moderate) Next Steps: How good is this information (scientific and socio- economic POV) Observed DataSatellite Data Fused Data MODIS & AIRNow Observations

Preliminary Results: Isolated Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups 7 High AOD (smoke?) in central Indiana Large USG area due to interpolation ASDP constrains the monitor influences Next Steps: How good is this information? (scientific and socio- economic value) Observed Data Satellite Data Fused Data MODIS & AIRNow Observations

US EPA ORD Initiatives Next Generation Air Monitoring (NGAM) – Workshops bring together sensor designers, state, local, tribal agencies, and EPA – Taking stock of the technology and its impact – Some work being done to move AirNow closer to being able to accept sub-hourly data – AirNow also being considered as a source of FRM and FEM data for small sensor evaluation 8

US EPA ORD Initiatives Village Green – A self-contained monitoring bench was installed at a public library in RTP – Delivers small sensor data to a server at EPA for display to the public – Talks underway to incorporate this dataflow in AirNowTech Replication of the VG benches will be easier Data will be more easily available to AirNow stakeholders 9

Other potential applications Environmental education – Small sensors are a great way to teach Granularity – Small sensors can provide data in many more locations than traditional monitors Field studies Your ideas? 10
