Some issues cannot be easily resolved through online tutorials or self help. So we made it easy to get in contact with the support team at United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), developers of EPA Smoke Sense.
If successful, data gathered through Smoke Sense will help EPA researchers and communities determine how smoke impacts our health and productivity and gain important insights needed to develop health risk communication methods during smoke days. The Smoke Sense mobile app is designed to pilot a citizen science study about the impacts of wildfire smoke exposure on health. Public health officials and air quality managers can use the results to develop strategies to protect public health from wildland fire smoke. Citizen scientists can use EPASmokeSense to learn about wildland fires and smoke health risks in their area. They can report their health symptoms, and the range of actions they are able or willing to take to improve their health condition or lower their exposure. At the end of the study, the Smoke Sense app will go offline temporarily for updates. The pilot will be conducted during the 2017 wildland fire season until the end of October. The findings from the study will be peer-reviewed for scientific publication and published on the EPA website. Users will earn badges each week they participate. Smoke Sense app user identities will be anonymous and non-identifiable.
