What is WARM?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Wildfire Atmospheric Research and Mitigation (WARM) project team at Arizona State University is sponsored by a U.S. EPA grant (the official project title being “Indoor Air Pollution Control for Resilience”) which aims to enhance Arizona communities\u2019 resiliency during major air pollution events such as wildfires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project focuses on reducing indoor air pollution in public spaces such as–but not limited to–schools, libraries, and community centers. Emphasizing low-income areas with a high risk for wildfires, WARM offers free training sessions surrounding air quality, health, and air pollution control techniques to eligible staff members and volunteers of public facilities in various Arizona communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WARM training participants receive a stipend and a digital credential upon completion. They are encouraged to share their newly gained knowledge within their organizations and communities. In addition, the project will provide enrolled facilities with materials to build cost-effective portable air cleaners (commonly known as Corsi-Rosenthal boxes), as well as data-rich indoor air quality monitors free of cost. The long-term vision for this project is to develop a special indoor air quality scale to enable notifications when air pollutant levels are high–such as during wildfires–and to equip participants with the tools to respond.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
