Type of Organization: We are Educators with keen interest in air quality assessment at the University of The Bahamas, a public university in the Bahamas.
Project Description: So far we have installed three PurpleAir sensors within the university but would like to expand the network beyond the university. Our plan is to involve the community in air quality studies by working together with the schools and community organisations within New Providence and Family Islands. Through such engagements we hope to have a more meaningful involvement and sensitization of the school children and local communities on public health and importance of air quality monitoring within their communities. There are no regulatory air quality monitoring stations in the Bahamas so, the data collected would be very useful in informing the public about the quality of air they are exposed to within their neighborhoods and health implications. These would also be very useful baseline data for future epidemiological studies
PurpleAir Model of interest: To achieve this goal we need 10-15 PurpleAir Flex to be installed at selected schools across the archipelago.
