SAPPHIRES Air Quality Research

We’re excited to invite you to participate in a study that explores protection for homes and families during poor air quality events. What we learn will help ensure healthier living spaces for everyone.

Indoor air quality has a direct impact on your health. By participating, you’ll help us better understand how to protect homes and families during poor air quality events, ensuring healthier living spaces for everyone.

What to Expect

• Duration: 1 week for phase 1 measurements, and 16 weeks for phase 2 measurements.
• Incentives: You’ll receive gift cards as a token of our appreciation.
• Measurements: The study tests how air cleaning or protection devices work. We'll place small instruments in your home to measure air quality. 
• Real-Time Interaction: You’ll receive air quality notifications and have the chance to interact with them. You'll also take simple surveys along the way.

This study is designed to fit your schedule. Your time and efforts will directly help improve how we manage air quality for our community. More information about the study and the SAPPHIRES research team can be found here or use the QR code below:
