About 20 years ago, a friend of mine on Christmas Island, Kiribati (Central Pacific, about 1200 miles south of Honolulu / 3300 miles from SoCal ) was involved in collecting daily air quality samples for Scripps Institute in San Diego. They would ship him vacuum flasks ( about 2 cubic ft.) He would go each day to whatever point on the island had an offshore breeze, open up the valve, and let the flask suck in the air. He was shown briefly doing this on an episode of Nova. According to him, Scripps could actually follow the weekly cycle of 5 days high and 2 days low by measuring the amount of pollutants in the air samples. Program came to a halt when the weekly airline flight was discontinued for a year or so.
