| Description: | The purpose of the “Filling Gaps in Air Quality Data” project is to bridge extensive air quality monitoring data gaps and empower developing countries to take immediate steps to improve air quality. Generating and maintaining reliable data to identify key sources of air pollution will inform and enhance countries’ capacity to establish and implement data-based air quality management policies. The project will assist two to three selected countries in deploying low-cost air quality monitoring equipment in locations where performance can be compared to the most accurate air quality monitors, such as those already installed at U.S. diplomatic posts. Co-locations like these will maximize opportunities for collaboration and leverage existing resources toward improvement of air quality management policies. |
