if you have an outdoor air quality monitor that you like, what kind do you have and what are its pros and cons?
I'm looking into them again and would love some Fedi input.
I am most interested in monitoring particulate matter, anything else is a bonus. I need something that runs on batteries and/or is rechargeable. What do you recommend? 1/n
CitiObs at the Dresden Nexus Conference 2025!
This week, our partner @MobileMaggie (@cwts) presented #CitiObs at #DNC2025 in Dresden, sharing how citizen science is transforming community-based environmental monitoring.
From air quality to water safety, citizen observatories are proving essential in helping communities gather reliable data to protect their health and environment.
If you’re looking for a HRV for your home, Fantech have some good units that I’ve used in past architectural projects. This one is for a small room, I am thinking about putting it into my van to control internal humidity, CO₂ and VOCs. Overkill maybe #airQuality

It's time to start digging in to my mask project!
I need good, solid resources to back up a presentation I'll be giving to the local public. What are the most reliable and ethical doctors, journalists, advocates, research, statistics, or sites that you've seen?
I'll be talking about air quality, advocating environmental justice through citizen science and mutual aid, and my focus is going to be ventilation and masking.
The program is organized by a local group of folks that started putting up air sensors all over town because of toxic chemical leaks from nearby refineries. They got a grant through a university, and they may be able to help me out in getting an air quality sensor so I can test the CO2 in local buildings. I'd also like to be able to pass out some mask samples. I've been trying to find info on other things like sip valves, elastomeric respirator exhaust valve filter adapters, good sites to buy masks and so on.
Since these issues got politicized and the CDC and WHO are increasingly corrupt/hamstrung, finding good info is a fuckin MESS. I could really use some help!
What's been very interesting to me is, the folks who promote masking are usually ALSO right on other issues. Masks are required at the local anarchist book fairs, for example, which to me says a LOT. The people I follow here on Mastodon who are solidly against genocide, fascism, capitalism, and lesser evilism are the SAME people who are solidly for issues like universal healthcare, right to repair, accessibility, direct action, labor organizing, etc etc-- you have a moral consistency that inspires my respect and hope, and I want to learn more from you!
Next post below will be where I list the sources I've collected, updating as I go.

In LA, cooking emissions rival fossil fuels as ozone pollution source
https://phys.org/news/2025-03-la-cooking-emissions-rival-fossil.html
Over half of US states get more electricity from #cleanenergy than coal.
28 states total, including:
Oklahoma
Kansas
South Dakota
Coal is the worst #fossilfuel for environment (and public health). 20 years ago, over half of US electricity came from coal.
Once again: clean energy investment and policy helps red states, too.
