CARE is funded by the National Science Foundation’s GEOPAths program through awards 2119465 (LUC) and 2119541 (CSU). We thank the Southeast Environmental Task Force and the Edgewater Environmental Coalition for important contributions as partners in this project. We also thank 6018|North, Centro Romero, Emanuel Congregation, Immanuel Lutheran Church, and five households for hosting PurpleAir sensors at their organizations or homes.
Over 5 million people in Chicago are at risk from high levels of ozone and particle pollution (American Lung Association, 2022). Residents of low-income or high-minority neighborhoods of Chicago share a greater burden of air pollution than more affluent areas (King, 2015; Yeo, 2019), which makes air pollution in Chicago an environmental justice issue. Particle monitoring in the city is currently too sparse to pinpoint where this pollutant is a concern for health.
Air pollution is a major issue in Chicago.
CARE is a geoscience learning community.
CARE has three aims:
CARE has increased fine particulate matter monitoring in two Chicago neighborhoods.
We deployed PurpleAir Sensors to two different communities in Chicago. We use these sensors because PurpleAir data is already being integrated into experimental maps (fire.airnow.gov) developed by the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Forest Service. Our project also leverages the PurpleAir network because prior work has evaluated the performance of these monitors. Newly established correction factors can be used to adjust reported PM2.5 values to agree better with Federal Equivalent Method (FEM) measurements (Magi et al., 2020; Malings et al., 2020; Mehadi et al., 2020; Barkjohn et al., 2020).
There are 8 CARE Team posters at the AGU Meeting.
