What type of organization best describes you?
A group of individuals.
Describe your organization.
We are a group of individuals in our community who are increasingly concerned about the pollution in our area (rural Arkansas)
Describe your project.
The area we live in is a pollution monitor desert. We have a lot of agriculture that is using practices that affect many communities (mainly, burning of the fields). This method is not used in other areas as heavily as it is here. Doctors in our community have written letters and pleaded with the state to make changes but are continually met with resistance. One of the things we would like to do is to show the pollution levels around our community to inform and support the data. Our local hospitals have seasonal employees to cover the influx of patients in the fall when this burning occurs. We’d like to add data to support that.
Which PurpleAir model(s) are you interested in and how many would you want for your project?
I’d like to start with 5-6 PurpleAir Classic Plus Monitors with power supplies. Hopefully, we can use these to get more traction.
