Project Summary
The INHALE project equips volunteers with mobile air particulate monitoring equipment to collect real-time air pollution data in their neighborhoods. This data is used to create a community map, the “Fresh Air Finder,” highlighting areas with the best and worst air quality. The initiative fosters community engagement and drives local actions to improve air quality and public health.
