Public Lab is an open community which collaboratively develops accessible, open source, Do-It-Yourself technologies for investigating local environmental health and justice issues.
Considering the high concentration of petri-chemical plants in southern Louisiana, I'm interested in exploring air quality, particularly in New Orleans Parish where I am located.
Check out draeger tubes. They used to be relatively inexpensive (~$200 per dozen, depending on the test). That was ten years or so ago, so I don't know what they cost now. The tubes also require a calibrated pump. That can be a calibrated hand pump or motor pump, etc. The hand pump is the least expensive, but the calibration adds dramatically to the expense.

Particulate Matter in New Orleans
if you live in an Orleans Parish "Climate Priority" Neighborhood, I would like to work with you on getting you a weather station or a Particulate Matter monitor, does that sound like something you'd like to do?

@eustatic know of any other groups in New Orleans doing this type of work that could be shared with @purl?
