Citation:
Clements, A. AND R. Duvall. EPA Tools and Resources Webinar: The Enhanced Air Sensor Guidebook. EPA Tools and Resources Webinar Series, NA, NC, April 26, 2023.
Impact/Purpose:
EPA's Office of Research and Development (ORD) hosts the Tools and Resources monthly public webinar series to resources and information that are useful, practical and applicable, and meet the needs of states/territories and other entities, such as tribes, local governments, and communities. During this webinar, held April 26th, 2023, ORD scientists Andrea Clements and Rachelle Duvall will discuss the Enhanced Air Sensor Guidebook. The original 2014 Guidebook was updated to reflect new information and to continue to support users and manufacturers of sensors. The update includes information on new topics such as sensor performance guidance, determining the purpose for monitoring, and planning and conducting an air quality monitoring study. This webinar will discuss the motivation and approach for developing the updated resources, give a brief overview of the content that users will find within, and will summarize the next steps, anticipated outcomes, and hopeful impact.
Description:
Recognizing the ever-increasing availability of air sensors, expanding user base, and growing scientific knowledge, the U.S. EPA updated the popular Air Sensor Guidebook, originally published in 2014. The refreshed version, called “The Enhanced Air Sensor Guidebook”, includes updated content and new topics that incorporate best practices, current knowledge, and recommendations to guide the use of air sensors. The Enhanced Guidebook supports users in planning and collecting air quality measurements using air sensors. The Guidebook can help sensor users Learn the basics of air quality, air pollution monitoring, and air sensors Plan and conduct an air quality monitoring study Select, setup, and use air sensors Analyze, interpret, communicate, and act on results Understand the basics of air sensor performance
