Air Quality Information -- Innovations and Impacts

Thursday January 23, 2025 4:00pm - 5:30pm EST

Room 5

We will review recent advances in air quality sensing and modeling including satellites and low-cost sensors. We'll examine two use cases: 1) Using wildfire AQ data to avoid smoke exposures and 2) Putting AQ data to work to protect underserved communities. We will point participants to a draft action model and AQ information resources and solicit feedback.

Value to Session Participants: We hope participants will learn more about AQ data and feel inspired to pursue ways to harness the data for real-world human health impacts.

Recommended Ways to Prepare: Participants will be encouraged to review the recording of the 2024 Summer Meeting AQ session and additional resources to be provided.
