Colleen Karl with the Edenton-Chowan Environmental Group will discuss the purple air sensors that capture any increase in air particles that may be released from Cyanobacteria blooms.
The sensors are installed across Northeast North Carolina, with one being at the Museum of the Albemarle.
Sensors are designed to measure small particles and convert them to a usable index of air quality. The data is recorded in real-time and continuously updated on a map. Learn about air quality as it relates to water quality. Project made possible by the Community Collaborative Research Grant Program, supported by North Carolina Sea Grant and the state’s Water Resources Research Institute, in partnership with the William R. Kenan Jr. Institute for Engineering, Technology and Science based at North Carolina State University.
