Long
Term
Determine how to use EPA
"official" !Q
measurements to support
calibration/validation
needs of Tier I cost sensor
community
Determine if EPA can
legally ingest data from
personal sensors, and what
will be done with this data
Design and develop a
web service that
provides real-time data
for on-the-fly evaluation
of sensor measurements
Additional Information on Existing EPA Efforts and Opportunities
i. ORD will also design and develop a simple prototype web service through which users can
directly access real-time data in the AirNow system (using their devices) for on-the-fly evaluation of
sensor measurements near the monitoring stations.
CONCLUSION
Sensor technology is developing rapidly, and it is conceivable that in the near future lower cost sensor
technology (Tier I to Tier III) will meet the current requirements of regulatory monitoring. This draft Roadmap
outlines the initial efforts needed to prepare for this changing landscape of air monitoring.
