Our final session of the Virtual Summer Series has concluded and is now available for you to watch and share with your colleagues. Our six speakers gave presentations on the topics below. 

Source characterisation and emission indices estimation using hyperlocal measurements from a low-cost sensor network - London Heathrow airport - Lekan Popoola, University of Cambridge

In case you missed Session 2 or the Introduction to the State of Air sensors Training, they are both available on-demand for your viewing convenience. We are delighted to continue educating and supporting the dissemination of the latest research in air quality sensors. 

For our many colleagues and partners with meeting conflicts, in different time zones or just unable to break away from family, don't worry - we're working to keep you involved! You can now pre-watch the Session 1 presentations and pose a question to the speakers before Thursday to possibly be answered live!

Our moderators will chose one question for each presenter from the questions asked before 10 AM PT on Wednesday to ask live. Additional questions will be collected for the speakers to offer written answers to after the Virtual Session has concluded.

Tracking California has provided an overview of how to develop a community air monitoring network. They partnered with Comite Civico del Valle to demonstrate the process of establishing a network that provides real-time information on PM levels within their own Imperial County. The presentation highlighted a parallel process to the 14 elements laid out by the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) community air monitoring plan and additional considerations from Tracking California's "Guidebook for Developing a Community Air Monitoring Network."

We are excited to share that ASIC will be hosted in Pasadena, California again from April 27-30, 2021!  

While we appreciate all the effort that was put in to organizing the 2020 conference and presentations, we have decided to start from scratch in our program development. With changing world activities, many presentations will need to be changed to support new data and ideas. This fall we will open abstracts again for you to submit your research and projects. 

While COVID-19 has everyone all over the world staying home to shelter in place, quarantine and avoid possibly contracting the virus or spreading the virus, the air quality has been improving with people driving less and some factories shutting down. However, with loosening regulations at the US EPA and around the world due to the stay at home orders, the ASIC Technical Program Committee wants to make sure people can still monitor the air quality in their region armed with the most up to date information and knowledge from our ASIC presenters.
