Public Lab is looking for individuals or organizations who have experience with the bucket sampler to better understand ongoing needs and considerations around use of this tool. If you've used buckets - or Summa canisters, or any method for measuring gases in air samples - I would love to talk to you about your experience!
From PL's Air Sampling page: Air grab sampling is a way to capture air samples for laboratory testing. Most air grab sampling methods involve capturing air pulled into a bag through a vacuum system. The bag can then be sealed and shipped to a lab for testing. Air grab samples can be tested for over 100 different chemicals (Louisiana Bucket Brigade). For more details on the project, visit https://publiclab.org/wiki/air-sampling.
Here's our success story using "The Bucket" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUuEFy5GwYY

@jjcreedon, thank you! Are you still using buckets today? I'd love to hear more about your experiences. I've been reading up on Tonawanda Coke and Citizen Science Community Resources, it's really inspiring to hear about success stories like this! I'd also be interested to hear about follow-up soil testing and remediation work you've been doing since the plant closed.
If you're open to talking to me about this project, I'd love to set up a time to chat.
