Join Berkshire Environmental Action Team and Berkshire Regional Planning Commission for an evening of air quality. BEAT staff will share results from over two years of ambient air quality monitoring in Pittsfield. BRPC will discuss their countywide air quality monitoring project, which for two years will measure both indoor and outdoor air quality. Learn about the effects of poor air quality on your health, and how the dangers of indoor air pollution differ from outdoor air. Both organizations will share the importance of collaboration in environmental and public health projects, sharing success from joint outreach in schools and the community.
