CARB staff have committed to providing technical support and consultation to communities to help ensure that community air monitoring campaigns produce meaningful results. We will make technical resources such as best management practices, guidance, and sensor evaluation reports. CARB encourages public participation in the process of environmental protection by making its community air monitoring expertise and resources available to community scientists. (Draft Concept Paper, 2018)
