Hi AirGradient team,
With the last few years in my area being filled with days of wild fire smoke, I started using AirGradient monitors along with a few public resources to view the air quality around me and the surrounding region. One resource I use is the US EPA’s AirNow Fire Map at fire.airnow.gov. This map aggregates data from the EPA regarding Smoke and Fire detection data from satellites, and also shows a number of EPA-operated as well as lower cost monitor data. The low cost monitor data seems to be coming mostly from PurpleAir.
I submitted feedback to the EPA about the map, recently and received a reply back that in the coming months, the EPA is planning to release documentation on how to allow third party data providers to integrate their information into the map. It would be cool to see AirGradient become another data provider for this map, so I can also see my monitor data on there.
