Description

Activities
To study air pollution and collect particle pollution data using purple air (or comparable) low-cost digital air sensors. We will also sample for toxic air pollution using sorbent tubes and/or summa cannisters. This information will help residents understand what's in the air their breathing and what impact that may have on their health. Plan to do the following: (1) conduct 2-week passive sorbent tube sampling; (2) collect a smaller number of summa canister samples collocated with sorbent tubes to assess measurement precision; and (3) conduct two 3-month sampling campaigns during summer and winter. The anticipated deliverables and expected outcomes will be under the categories of studying of air pollution, which will be accompanied by public outreach and education. The main projected outcomes will include short-term (increase in knowledge of residents on outdoor air pollution and risks to public health); intermediate (education of residents that can better report increased air pollution events to non-profits and regulatory agencies); long-term (better controls/reduction in air pollution, 2 years after the project). The intended beneficiaries will be the residents of birmingham, especially those living near the fence-line of an assortment of manufacturing industry, which emits air pollution.activities:.subrecipient:no subawards are included in this assistance agreement.outcomes:.
