Air Monitors
Philly Community Wireless, in collaboration with the Clean Air Council and Temple University's Geography and Urban Studies Program, has deployed PurpleAir air monitors at several install sites around our network to provide real-time air monitoring.
Purple Air monitors enable communities to engage in citizen science around pollution in their neighborhoods, and allow residents to assess:
- If their air quality is good in their area
- How it compares to other parts of the city.
Real-time air quality data can be viewed on PurpleAir's map.
PCW-installed air monitors are present at:
- Norris Square Neighborhood Project
- Cesar Andreú Iglesias Community Garden
- GALAEI
- Kensington Library
- HACE - Caribe Tower
- KCT Gardens
