The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Wildfire Smoke Preparedness in Community Buildings Grant Program awarded $854,609 to the State of Utah Department of Environmental Quality (UDEQ) to enhance community resilience against wildfire smoke hazards. The key activities under this 3-year Project Grant include:

  • Deploying low-cost PM2.5 and CO2 sensors at public schools to monitor indoor and outdoor air quality
  • Developing air quality systems that integrate data with wildfire smoke forecasts
  • Distributing portable air cleaners, air filters, and DIY box fan air cleaners to public schools, preschools, and underserved communities
  • Developing a protocol to improve indoor air quality in schools using the monitoring data

UDEQ is collaborating with the University of Utah, Snow College, and the Utah Clean Air Partnership (UCAIR) as sub-recipients to implement various aspects of the project, including sensor calibration/deployment, data analysis, outreach, and air cleaner distribution. The intended outcomes are increased availability of air monitoring data, reduced occupant exposure to wildfire smoke, and greater awareness and action within impacted communities to mitigate smoke-related health risks.
