- What type of organization best describes you?
Clean Air Pueblo is a project of Sustainable Pueblo, a community group, soon to be a Colorado non-profit. - Describe your organization.
Clean Air Pueblo, founded in 2022, purchased PurpleAir monitors and increased the number of monitors in Pueblo County from 2 to 18. We use social media, newsletters, and community meetings to raise awareness about air quality and to help people make informed decisions to protect their health. We work with the Air Pollution Control Division of the Colorado Department of Public Health, including a project locating EPA funded air monitors in Pueblo. We work with the Pueblo fire chief and are in the process of having PurpleAir monitors installed on every fire station in Pueblo City. - Describe your project.
Pueblo County is a low-income, highly impacted community, with a coal burning power plant, a cement factory, and other polluting industries. We have built strong relationships with local and state agencies to help with our work. We practice data democracy, making sure that all of our projects involve data that can be accessed by the public. We have some PurpleAir monitors that we are installing now and, looking ahead, we will need a considerable number more; we have a waiting list of households. We are seeking to improve our coverage around Pueblo County, especially in areas near known polluters. We know that we have already increased awareness and we will continue to educate people about air quality. We request ten monitors please. - Which PurpleAir model(s) are you interested in and how many would you want for your project?
Ten PurpleAir Classic Plus (and power supply)
Thank you.
