- Understanding Urban Air: The Case for Hyperlocal Air Quality Monitoring
- Abstract
- Common air quality pollutants such as particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, and ground- level ozone exhibit immense intra-urban variability. Though they are useful for regulatory compliance, the coarse spatial resolution of government-operated air quality monitoring networks is insufficient for characterizing neighborhood-scale pollution disparities and their related health burdens. Hyperlocal monitoring networks seek to fill in those gaps. In this work, hyperlocal data from the Berkeley Environment, Air-quality, and CO2 Network is utilized to investigate the effects of COVID-19 lockdown measures in Oakland, CA, and to demonstrate the capability of hyperlocal monitoring stations to tease out local pollution sources. Data from the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (DEM)- operated network in the city of Providence collected over the same time period is analyzed to illustrate the inadequacy of compliance monitoring networks for understanding similar perturbations at local scales.
