Air Quality Monitoring and Mapping
Air Quality monitoring is the systematic, long-term assessment of pollutant levels by measuring the quantity and types of certain pollutants in the surrounding, outdoor air. Some of the pollutants considered include carbon monoxide, benzene, butadiene, lead, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and particulates. Reasons to collect such data include to: assess the extent of pollution; provide air pollution data to the general public in a timely manner; support implementation of air quality goals or standards; evaluate the effectiveness of emissions control strategies; provide information on air quality trends; provide data for the evaluation of air quality models; and support research (e.g., long-term studies of the health effects of pollution).
