Act on Air: Addressing Philly’s Air Quality & Environmental Justice

Science On Tap Philadelphia welcomes Dr. Christina Rosan, Associate Professor of Geography and Urban Studies at Temple University. Dr. Rosan has been working on a collaborative project called ACT on Air (Accessible Community Technology on Air) to partner with universities, citizens, schools, and non-profits across the city to install low-cost air Purple Air monitors in Philadelphia’s neighborhoods. ACT on Air aims to raise awareness about local air quality and help empower residents to advocate for systemic policy change. The project is part of a larger initiative to help citizens and City officials monitor environmental justice and use climate investments to address community need. Join us for a discussion on environmental justice in the city and to learn about how you can ACT on Air.
