🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 Last week, Argos Scientific, Inc. team members set up our new particulate monitoring system at Parkrose’s Prescott Elementary School. We are thrilled to introduce "Bongo" to the community! 🎉 Bongo is a state-of-the-art particulate monitoring system that measures particulate matter, temperature, and humidity, providing real-time data. It’s versatile, working both indoors and outdoors. Some interesting features of Bongo include: ✨ Color-changing lights that visualize air quality for instant environmental understanding ☀️ Innovative solar-powered design for sustainable operation Bongo stands for: B- Biometric O- Outdoor N- Nanoparticle G- Glowing O- Omnisensor Check out the photographs of Argos' team member Hailey Gebhart setting up the Bongo at Parkrose’s Prescott Elementary School. It's now up and running, actively collecting data to ensure a healthier environment for everyone! 📸 We’re committed to keeping our environment safe and healthy, and Bongo is a big step forward in monitoring air quality. Stay tuned for updates on its features, where else they are getting installed, and what the data looks like! #ArgosScientific #AirQuality #Parkrose #ParkroseSchoolDistrict #PCAMP

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 Argos Scientific, Inc. is thrilled to announce our participation in the Future Leaders Project (FLP) by Washington State University Vancouver (WSUV) this summer of 2024! The FLP, a collaborative initiative of Workforce Southwest Washington (WSW), Columbia River Economic Development Council (CREDC), and WSUV, aims to nurture diverse leaders for our growing community. Led by Nolan Yaws-Gonzalez, Senior Project Manager at WSW, the FLP provides valuable internships for WSUV students, particularly those from historically marginalized communities and first-generation college students. Our involvement in FLP means talented student interns will join our team for professional development opportunities, gaining hands-on experience with state-of-the-art technologies and air quality monitoring. Please contact Argos Scientific, Inc. for more information by emailing info@argos-sci.com. Student interviews with employer host sites in April 2024, and student placements will be finalized by mid-May. We look forward to having students come work for Argos as summer interns to gain an enriching experience!

📢 Lessons Learned from the 1995 Unocal Refinery Catacarb Release, March 15 Argos Scientific, Inc. recently hosted a special Zoom meeting featuring Jay Gunkelman, a renowned neuroscientist and former Crockett resident, and Howard Adams, a long-time Rodeo resident and Chevron chemist. Both were instrumental in developing BAAQMD’s Reg 12-Rule 15, the Emissions Tracking Rule. Missed out? Don't worry, we've got you covered! Here's a summary of their discussion: ⚠️ Gunkelman and Adams shared insights into a catastrophic catacarb release from the Unocal refinery, now the Phillips 66 Rodeo Refinery, and the pivotal role residents played in establishing fenceline air monitoring systems in Crockett and Rodeo. Catacarb, a hazardous chemical used in refining crude oil production, went unreported for nine days, resulting in serious health impacts and legal repercussions for Unocal. Gunkelman and Adams recounted their own experiences during and after the disaster and their subsequent involvement in developing Rule 15. This regulation mandates real-time air monitoring at refinery perimeters for community safety, with unique controls requiring accurate monitoring systems as part of Rodeo's refinery permit. As we await the Air District’s decisions on refinery compliance with Rule 15, this serves as a valuable opportunity to learn from history and understand the importance of effective air monitoring regulations. 📖🔍 🔗 Meeting Recording: https://lnkd.in/g8EnYisB #ArgosScientific #AirQuality #SunflowerAlliance
