Sierra Club's PurpleAir Initiative - Improving Lancaster's Air

Lancaster County, known for its rich heritage and vibrant communities, faces a pressing environmental challenge.

GTGH Lancaster is excited to welcome Sierra Club Pennsylvania to the 17th Annual Gifts That Give Hope Gift Fair and we're proud of the work they are doing to better our community.

The American Lung Association recently awarded the county an alarming "F" grade for short-term particle pollution, highlighting the urgent need for action. In response, the Sierra Club has launched the innovative PurpleAir Initiative, a project dedicated to increasing the availability of particulate matter data throughout the region

By harnessing advanced air quality monitoring technology, this initiative aims to empower residents, policymakers, and environmental advocates with the information they need to address and mitigate the impact of air pollution. Join us as we explore the PurpleAir Initiative and its crucial role in safeguarding the health and well-being of Lancaster County's residents in the Sierra Club's latest article.
