This 101-style graphic primer on air pollution monitoring covers frequently asked questions and scientific jargon. As the saying goes, “we cannot manage what we cannot measure”. Having access to monitoring data is important for air quality management via (a) preparing action plans, (b) supporting public awareness activities, and (c) keeping track of progress in air quality (or lack thereof). Air p...

The Guidebook covers planning (e.g., what to monitor, where to monitor, which sensors to use) and deployment (e.g., how to use and maintain sensors, what factors to consider when taking measurements). It also covers sensor data handling, interpretation, communication, and use. It is intended to build on existing resources and aid community organizations in effectively using lowcost air quality sen...

Participants of this online course will understand why and how air quality monitoring is performed effectively, which can establish and/or strengthen air quality standards and sustainable national and local air quality monitoring programs that would enable deep understanding of air quality status. This module is divided into two sections: 1) Ambient Air Quality Standards – discusses difference bet...
