PODCAST: Why air quality monitoring networks are not fit for the 21st century

Our urban air quality monitoring networks are not prepared for catastrophic pollution events.

In this episode of the EnvirotechOnline podcast, Alan and Jed explore what the air quality monitoring networks of the 21st century should look like.
