What is in the air we breathe? Where does air pollution come from? How does air pollution impact your children, neighbors, and community? What can we do to reduce our air pollution and protect our homes?

Dr. Nick Spada will be joining us to answer all these questions and lead a workshop on how to build a cost-effective home air purifier.

Dr. Spada is a scientist at the Air Quality Research Center of the University of California, Davis. His research focuses on the prevalence of metals in air pollution, which he uses to support large-scale national monitoring as well as targeted studies in front-line communities.

We will be giving away the materials to build your own air purifier (Corsi-Rosenthal Box) to the first 10 participants who register to receive the supplies (located as a free “add-on” to the ticket). Only one set per household. Households are ineligible if they previously received the materials from an air purifier workshop hosted by Sustainable Solano. Materials will be provided at the workshop.

We will also share information about our upcoming Rio Vista Youth Air Protectors high school internship. This internship is an opportunity for youth to learn about air quality challenges facing Rio Vista and engage and educate their community while developing valuable leadership skills.

This event is generously funded by Solano Community Foundation.
