帝国郡社区空气监测网络（网络）是一个由社区、学术界、非政府组织和政府合作伙伴组成的协作小组，旨在满足对经常超过空气质量标准的地区的颗粒物更详细数据的需求。该网络采用以社区为基础的环境监测过程中，社区和研究人员有具体的，明确界定的作用，作为一个公平的伙伴关系的一部分，还包括共同决策，以确定研究方向，规划研究协议，并进行项目活动。该网络目前正在从整个帝国县的40个低成本传感器产生实时颗粒物数据，这是美国最大的社区空气网络之一。建立一个社区主导的空气网络涉及让社区成员成为监测、选址和数据收集过程中的公民科学家。还必须注意仪器校准和验证以及数据电子传输和储存方面的技术问题。最后，在研究经费支出后，社区保健的持续改善将取决于促进社区所有权和网络的可持续性。https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1772
The Imperial County Community Air Monitoring Network (the Network) is a collaborative group of community, academic, nongovernmental, and government partners designed to fill the need for more detailed data on particulate matter in an area that often exceeds air quality standards. The Network employs a community-based environmental monitoring process in which the community and researchers have specific, well-defined roles as part of an equitable partnership that also includes shared decision-making to determine study direction, plan research protocols, and conduct project activities. The Network is currently producing real-time particulate matter data from 40 low-cost sensors throughout Imperial County, one of the largest community-based air networks in the United States. Establishment of a community-led air network involves engaging community members to be citizen-scientists in the monitoring, siting, and data collection process. Attention to technical issues regarding instrument calibration and validation and electronic transfer and storage of data is also essential. Finally, continued community health improvements will be predicated on facilitating community ownership and sustainability of the network after research funds have been expended. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1772
