About This Event

How Healthy is Our Air?

  • How extreme heat, wildfires, wood burning, local geography, and temperature inversions can worsen air quality and affect our health

  • How an air sensor works, and how you can build a DIY air cleaner

  • How you can find out the air quality near you, what you can do to protect your health, and what we can do to improve air quality in our region
