Israel came late to the idea of sampling. Many other communities take soil and water samples, but the first Israeli Brigade, forming at Rmat yohanan, is interested in sampling the air. The organization was founded by two environmental advocates from the North, Amit Rabin from the Coalition of Public Health and Elad Rudiakov, formerly active in "Green Course."

The pilot project is being supported by Global Community Monitor (GCM), an American organization working with communities from around the world. They are also being helped by SHATIL Public Health.

How much does it take to make and use the bucket? Ks"m estimates that the price of the bucket is around $150 and the cost of the analysis of each sample will range from $150-300.

Ksem sponsored a conference on Thursday 15 of October at Oranim. Held in cooperation between Ks"m, Coalition for Public Health and GCM, the conference will feature three American air monitoring experts. There is a long list of expected participants, including the Ministry of Environment. "This is a method adapted to communities and individuals," says Rudiakov. "For the first time, the public is given the option of taking control of their life through tools and methods for monitoring the air."
