OUR AIR

WE can't live without air.  With naturally occurring air pollutants and all those man made from vehicles, burning garbage, etc., we shouldn't have to worry about the Crystalline silica sand particles that are in the air from frac sand mining.

EPA’s Real-Time Geospatial Data Viewer (RETIGO)

RETIGO is a free web-based tool designed to make it easier to explore air monitoring field data on map and graph interfaces, particularly complex data collected with portable air instruments while walking, biking, or driving. The training will cover a basic overview of RETIGO, as well as cover new updates including the following: 
 
  • New wind-directional pollution plot option for data sets collecting wind and pollution data simultaneously.
  • Enhancements to several plots to support stationary monitoring data sets, such as showing single pollutant time series at multiple sites in parallel.
  • Support for posting data to and retrieving data from an open access data repository, which is implemented through a collaboration between EPA’s RETIGO project and Carnegie Mellon University’s Environmental Sensor Data Repository (ESDR) project.
