Host a PurpleAir sensor
You can sign up to host an air sensor.
What to know
Anyone can sign up to host an air sensor.
No guarantees
Signing up does not guarantee that you'll receive an air sensor.
How it works
We'll let you know in about a week where you are on the list.
We give priority to people who live in:
- Environmental justice areas
- Areas where there is not another air sensor nearby
We distribute air sensors until we run out. More air sensors become available if:
- A host leaves the program
- We get funding to buy more
You will remain on the list until you:
- Receive an air sensor, or
- Request to be removed from the list
