Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2012 10:01:02 -0800 Subject: carpa -- Demonstration of Field GC/MS Capabilities - Feb 21, 2012 From: sduteaux@arb.ca.gov Join us for a hand-on demonstration of new field GC/MS capabilities for chemical detection on Tuesday, February 21, 2012 from 8am - 2pm, at 1927 13th Street, Sacramento, CA. Increasingly, emergency responders are relying on field-based chemical identification rather than lab-based analysis. Field analysis allows for rapid turn-around and data for quick decision making on public and responder safety. CARPA, ARB's Office of Emergency Response, and Agilient are providing this overview and hands-on demonstration to focus on new chemical detection technologies for a variety of media including air.

For several months during 2011, wildfires throughout the Southwest and Mexico affected air quality across the region with impacts measured hundreds of miles away. A concerted multi-state interagency air quality coordination effort was initiated which resulted in consistent public messaging on smoke impacts and how impacted communities could protect themselves. Please join the webinar to hear about lessons learned on consistent messaging, deployment of equipment, and the utilization of decision support tools.
