Free Webinar Wednesday April 16: "Air Quality Exposure Modeling For Non-Modelers"

Picture

Look for an email from us with the link

There are plenty of ways to estimate exposure to air pollution from different kinds of monitoring and modeling. Learn about two methods in this webinar: Air Quality Modeling for Non-Modelers.
 
Hear about down to earth estimates of exposure using air dispersion modeling which can answer the question: What happens if this amount of air pollution is emitted from these air pollution sources. Then zoom up into space to learn how satellites can help us estimate ground level exposure to pollutants. Along the way, learn about best practices so that you will know what questions to ask when presented with modeling results.

​Past Events

The Webinar titled "Air Quality Index and Its Ramifications for Air Quality Planning and Public Health" was held on Friday October 11, 2024 12:00PM-1:30PM EST and ​was a huge success!

​When Canadian Wildfires affected a large portion of the United States in 2023, the Air Quality Index (AQI) was extraordinarily high and captured a lot of attention. (On June 7, 2023, New York City had the worst air quality in the world.) This webinar will explore several air pollution issues through the lens of the AQI. 
§  Learn how the AQI is calculated, how it changes as NAAQS change, and consider how it can be used as a shorthand for air quality status. 
§  Hear how NJDEP addressed the high Ozone pollution levels of 2023 as an “Exceptional Event” (a step also taken by Delaware and Pennsylvania) and how that affects their progress toward meeting the Ozone standards. 
§  See the effect of changes to the PM2.5 NAAQS from the perspective of Pennsylvania. Consider the communication strategies for effective public health protection offered by the AQI.
