Sites selected to house the air quality monitoring systems will be located throughout Baltimore. Sensors are low power, will be placed in secure locations, and local stewards will be needed to help record and share the data with SERC scientists.

No prior experience or technical knowledge required! We will provide any needed training.

If you are interested in helping collect and share air quality data, do the following steps: 

  1. Sign up as an EJJI volunteer and be sure to select "Air quality testing" for question 5.
  2. Email Veronica Lucchese, EJJI's Environmental Science Program Manager.
