EPIC’s Clean Air Program has launched a new series of conversations sparked by EPIC Air Quality Fund Awardees, focusing on new tools, real-world lessons, and emerging opportunities in air quality. In this session, Albert Presto of Carnegie Mellon University and Sina Hasheminassab of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory discussed how existing monitoring tools and satellite-based research can be leveraged to strengthen air quality decision-making. Albert focussed on how to derive additional, policy-relevant value from used BAM filter tape, and Sina spoke about MAIA (Multi-Angle Imager for Aerosols)—a NASA investigation focused on assessing the health impacts of exposure to different types of particulate matter.
