Keep the dust-day photo log for Rose Park from neighborhood vantage points (2026-07-18)

As the Great Salt Lake shrinks, its exposed lakebed sends dust plumes over Salt Lake City's west side first — Rose Park and Glendale breathe the arsenic-bearing dust days before anyone downtown notices. A consistent neighborhood photo log of dust events, haze, and visibility from fixed public vantage points builds the local record that health advocates and researchers need. Standard: Utah DEQ air monitoring context; Great Salt Lake dust research (University of Utah); SDG 3 and SDG 11. Proof: Fixed-vantage photo series + conditions log Method (Utah DEQ air monitoring context; Great Salt Lake dust research (University of Utah); SDG 3 and SDG 11.): 1. Photograph the western skyline and fixed landmarks from the same public vantage points on schedule and on visible-dust days. 2. Record time, wind direction, and visibility estimate at each point. 3. Note official air-quality index readings for the same hour from public sources. 4. Log any visible dust plume direction. 5. File the photo series and log with date and GPS per point. Done when: Fixed-vantage photo series + conditions log

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 45–90 minutes. Method of record: EPA NAAQS community ambient-air screening (PM2.5)

Bring

• calibrated PM2.5 monitor
• GPS phone
• wind/weather note source
• hi-vis vest
• camera

Steps

1. 1. Choose >=3 points (near-source/roadside, mid, background); record GPS at each; stay off the roadway.
2. 2. Photograph each monitoring location.
3. 3. Log PM2.5 (ug/m3) at each point over a comparable peak period.
4. 4. Record wind direction, time, and nearby source activity (e.g., truck traffic).
5. 5. Compare readings to the NAAQS reference.
6. 6. Enter the PM2.5 logs, wind/time, source note, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Roadside work near heavy traffic -> stay off travel lanes; hi-vis at all times.
• Near-source PM2.5 well above background and NAAQS -> flag an environmental-justice exposure concern.

What counts as done

• PM2.5 logged at >=3 points (near-source / mid / background)
• Wind direction + time recorded
• Source-activity observation recorded
• GPS waypoints + location photos

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
