[Esip-envirosensing] Call follow-up -- Washington Post piece on Cal fires, air quality monitoring issues

[frazmo]

At yesterday's call I mentioned 9in the chat box) an article in The
Washington Post that discussed the challenges of providing timely,
spatially and temporally relevant information about air quality during
California's wildfires. Among other issues, the cuts to the power grid were
killing air quality monitors at very bad times. Also, the existing
monitoring network doesn't provide adequate resolution to inform local
residents of dynamically changing air quality during fires. The article
also mentions the interesting PurpleAir project.

A link too the article is below. Apologies in advance for any problems with
the Post's paywall! Cheers,

Steve Young, EPA (Retired)
