Join a ROCIS Low Cost Monitoring Project Virtual Cohort!
Kits will be delivered to participants via a no contact exchange - either door to door or via mail. The kit includes monitors for particles, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and radon. During the one-month-long cohort, participants monitor their indoor and outdoor air, and receive weekly feedback on their results. During the monitoring period, ROCIS participants can test the effectiveness of ROCIS-loaned equipment, including portable air cleaners and DIY filter fans. The virtual format has increased the convenience of participating through:
- No travel requirements (All meetings are online!)
- Flexible meeting times (There are two weekly online ROCIS meetings, each with the option of attending in the morning or evening)
- Shorter & more frequent meetings
- Opportunity for more household members to participate (Kids are welcome!)
Over the course of the virtual cohort, the ROCIS team covers a wide range of topics including:
- Air quality in Pittsburgh (and elsewhere)
- Accessing and interpreting air quality monitoring results
- Technical interventions to improve indoor air quality
- Behavioral interventions to improve indoor air quality
- Resources to learn about local outdoor air quality
- Health impacts of air quality
