Air Quality and Monitoring
The University of Wisconsin-Madison and Duke University are leading two projects sponsored by the U.S. Department of State that seek to build capacity for air quality monitoring and air quality management in South and Central Asia. As part of these projects, we are organizing a monthly webinar that covers topics in air quality monitoring and management. The webinar will be focused on stakeholders in the Dhaka and Kolkata region but will be recorded and made available to the broader community.
The webinar series will be co-hosted by Prof. James Schauer from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Prof. Abdus Salam from Dhaka University, and Prof. Abhijit Chatterjee from the Bose Institute in Kolkata. The monthly webinar will feature air quality monitoring and management experts from the project teams.
