Wildfire Resources

ERIS is aware of the challenges to minimize and strains of state resources to mitigate the environmental effects of wildfires. As wildfires continue to rage in the western U.S., ERIS is compiling research and resoures to assist state environmental agencies in their efforts. The homepage of the ERIS webpage has some wildfire smoke and post-fire recovery resources, and U.S. EPA’s Office of Research and Development compiled this document with resources related to wildfires.

ASIC Virtual Summer Series: Introduction to the State of Air Sensors

Air quality sensor use is increasing. And so are the people and organizations involved in this movement. Attend this training if you’re curious about who’s doing what with air sensors. The State of Air Sensing will show the wide range of organizations involved in air sensing, showcase interesting applications, discuss what’s needed to grow this market, and make predictions for how the air sensor market will evolve over the next 5 to 10 years.
