One of the goals of the COMPASS research study is to identify harmful environmental exposures, such as air pollution, that can lead to developing cancer and other diseases.
Only participants in the COMPASS research study are eligible and having air pollution monitoring devices installed is optional. There are no costs to have devices installed. If interested, we will pay you $25 for installing the devices after we pick up the devices.
