This map shows our stationary air quality monitors, with readings updating every 15 minutes. Our locations were chosen with a focus on the places people live, work, play, and breathe in their day to day lives.

In addition to these stationary sites, we have a small team of mobile monitors. They walk monthly routine routes with handheld air monitors in the Southeast, Westside and Morningside areas of the city. These locations are around schools, homes, businesses, and often busy streets. The mobile team also walks investigative routes near places we suspect have high levels of emissions.
If you would like us to bring the mobile monitors to investigate the air, please let us know! We want to hear from you and collect information on the air you breathe, where you breathe it.
