8.5 Searching for Clean Air: Part 2

This session is a continuation of the 2022 session in which we explored how various organizations support the organization of communities who are searching for cleaner air. We will discuss the barriers that communities face such as transparency/accessibility to information, regulatory knowledge, and collecting/maintaining data. We will also review some specific planned projects and how air quality monitoring can be incorporated into major restoration/rejuvenation projects. We will hear from how EPA plays a part in all of this and some of the tools being worked on to lessen the challenges of communities.
