Got Asthma? Got concerns about heavy truck traffic emissions? Curious about what the burning of limestone at the nearby cement plant is doing to the air? Sensitive to the return of wildfire smoke events from Canada? These are legitimate health concerns that can now be monitored by every person who owns a free PurpleAir monitor. It’s long past time we get serious about how to protect ourselves.
Join us for a virtual event on: Thursday, April 9th, 2026 at 6pm with the Air Justice Lab, NATURE Lab’s community air monitoring project, to learn more.

PurpleAir monitors collect the critical data that helps people with respiratory issues stay alert to the air quality outside their home. It does not collect anything other than real-time, hyper-local, informative data to track harmful particulate matter.
There are no onboard video cameras, no audio devices, no recordings of any kind made by this little, unobtrusive device. It’s designed to monitor live pollution levels so people can make informed decisions about whether to stay indoors and/or avoid activities that trigger asthma or other breathing-related issues.
PurpleAir is especially useful in towns like ours with high amounts of heavy diesel truck traffic and industrial zones with known pollution sources.
