How high above the ground should the air monitor be? (Give a number in feet)
3 feet
What happens if you close the NIOSH app screen during the activity?
The recording will stop and will not save.
How far away from the surface should you point the temperature gun to take a measurement? (Give a number in feet)
3-4 feet

2
Give one type of measurement that can be written down.
Thermal temp range, observations, type of materials, shade, cloudy/sunny, color, safe to touch
Which PM will we be measuring in the air?
PM 2.5
What sound levels can be harmful to humans' health? (Give a number)
85 db(A) or higher
Can you take multiple measurements at each stop? (Yes/No)
Yes! We suggest comparing different surfaces near each other, shaded and unshaded, etc
At the end of the activity, what should you do with the pictures?
Send them to us by email or text so we can show the whole group
For the surface temperature sheets, what should be the first thing you write down/check that day?
The current weather temperature
PM2.5 levels over ___ µg/m3 for the day is considered unhealthy. (Give a number)
35
What are the steps to start recording? (Hint: 1 - Where do you go? 2- What icon do you press?)
1. Go to the “dB” icon on the bottom left corner
2. Click the Play button
What surface temperature is needed to heat an egg? (In Fahrenheit/degrees F)

How can you tell when the temperatures are different with the camera?
Color contrasts (ex: red versus blue)
For the thermal temperature sheets, what information should you write down? (Give two examples)
Temperature range in picture and observations
Once the "Aircasting" app is downloaded, what are the 3 next steps for setting up the air quality monitor? (Hint: 1 - Connect to what?, 2- Open what?, 3- How to start recording?)

Why should you avoid pointing the camera at shiny objects? (ex: metals)
They reflect heat from their surroundings so pictures might not be as correct
Why was the heat note-taker role created?
Temperature tools require gripping and it would be harder to write with these tools. There is a lot of info to be collected so this person can help.
