The San Joaquin Valley has some of the worst air in the nation. We're working to help everyone breathe easy.
We're using our skills and resources as a community hackerspace to build new technology that will paint a clearer picture of how our air is doing. The data we collect can be analyzed and used to help drive policy decisions that will benefit all of us.
SJVAir is a network of low-cost air quality monitors providing real-time PM2.5 data to disadvantaged communities across the San Joaquin Valley. SJVAir is operated by a collaborative of non-profit organizations from Bakersfield to Stockton.
Root Access is developing the technology, both hardware and software, to make this happen:
Root Access provides the space for testing and calibration of CCAC's Purple Air monitors before they're put into the field for data collection.
Configuring a batch of Purple Air monitors before they're tested and calibrated.
Building the air monitor rack on our roof and setting up monitors.
We can test and calibrate up to thirty-six Purple Air monitors at a time.
