SPOT THE SMOKE
DOCS II for Nonprofits & Community Groups
People who live beside a source usually see a plume first.
Spot the Smoke offers DOCS II to nonprofit and community partners, with the same training and certified configuration agencies and industry use.
NONPROFITS & COMMUNTIY GROUPS
If you can see it, you can document it.
What a neighborhood sees becomes a documented observation: the image, where it was taken from, the time, the weather and the sun angle. That gives your air agency a specific record to follow up on.
DOCS II gives you a way to turn what you notice into a number your air agency can act on.
Citizen science
Virtual Technology is committed to citizen science — the idea that the people who live with air pollution should be able to document it.
The same technology that agencies and industry rely on for opacity compliance can serve community and environmental organizations too. Virtual Technology is committed to Sustainable Skies and we hope to build much more community involvement in the years ahead, and nonprofit partners are where that starts.
