AQ Monitor Locations
June 24, 2021
Below are tentative locations for air quality monitors, based on results from our survey and input from the steering committee. Factors used to determine locations were:
– measuring air quality in areas of highest concern (high level of outdoor activity, concentration of vulnerable receptors: kids, seniors, cyclists, exercisers)
– variations in air quality though-out the neighbourhood, allowing us to assess drift and influence of different sources
– impact of the trains idling the BI Line (when they’re there vs when they’re not)

LOCATIONS TO PLACE AQ MONITORING
