AGU Fall 2015

One more note: We were lucky enough to have the opportunity to share our project at the American Geophysical Union's Fall Meeting (last week in San Francisco). We presented the poster shown below during a session on climate literacy and citizen science. If you would like a copy of the poster, just let us know. We were also invited to give a lightning talk at the Thriving Earth Exchange's Partnerships for Community Science Networking Reception. Thanks again to all of the project team members and donors who made this possible!

About This Project

The harmful effects of indoor air contaminants, such as perchloroethylene (PERC), are clear. Knowing how to assess our own risk is less clear. We will assemble and distribute air quality test kits to homes in Northeast Denver in order to collect data on two pollutants: PERC and radon. Our goals are simple, help a local community understand if they are at risk, raise awareness of air quality issues, and test a low-cost method for PERC detection that could allow anyone to screen their home.

Blast off!
