- What type of organization best describes you?
Individual (concerned citizen)
- Describe your organization.
I’m a determined individual living in rural Western Maryland — population: a few humans, many deer, and zero air sensors. I may not have a lab coat 
, but I have a rooftop, a strong Wi-Fi signal, and a love for clean air and good data.
- Describe your project.
Right now, the air quality data for Allegany County, Maryland and the surrounding areas is about as empty as our local shopping mall on a Tuesday afternoon — nonexistent. My project is simple: install a PurpleAir sensor to finally bring real-time air quality readings to our forgotten corner of Western Maryland. With no sensors within 40 - 50 miles, even one device would turn our situation from a big question mark into real information my community, researchers, and travelers could actually use. It’s time for us to stop flying blind when it comes to what we’re breathing!
- Which PurpleAir model(s) are you interested in and how many would you want for your project?
One PurpleAir PA-II or PA-II-SD outdoor sensor with power plug if possible.
Thank you for taking the time to read my application.
