This $498,546 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Environmental Justice Collaborative Problem-Solving (EJCPS) Cooperative Agreement Program (CFDA 66.306) will fund the Downwinders At Risk Education Fund, in partnership with the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), to build and maintain a network of 6 central node air quality sensors, LoRaWAN gateways, and 20 solar-powered satellite sensor nodes in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. This air monitoring network will establish a comprehensive environmental justice baseline for air pollution inequities in the region, now the third largest metropolitan area in the U.S. Key activities include organizing community partners, deploying air monitors, and building and maintaining a shared air quality data website to provide real-time pollution data to residents. The project aims to increase air quality data availability and public information in the Dallas-Fort Worth community.
