200 air quality sensors have been installed at schools throughout the Los Angeles Unified School District, making it the country's largest school-based air quality monitoring network.
Torres said his boss woke him to ask, “is there smoke over at such and such school? And I couldn't answer without saying, well, we'll get someone out there," which required “waking someone else up and getting them out there."
The sensors take samples every six minutes, so if air quality levels are too poor, school personnel can move activities indoors, Torres said. The broader goal is to identify trends in specific areas and use that information to provide air filtration systems to schools affected by consistently bad air quality — once the Office of Environmental Health and Safety can"better understand the data," he said., which focuses on"creating a school environment that prioritizes student achievement."
