About this project:
This project will identify locations with concerning levels of contamination from the 2023 wildfire in Lahaina, Maui. We will be analyzing data we collected to identify concentrations of multiple contaminants that are above health guidelines and examining environmental samples from places in Lahaina that municipal authorities did not collect, despite requests from non-profits and residents of Lahaina. The data will be used to support cleanup and further investigation of impacted sites, as well as to address public health concerns.
