The city of Dallas is tackling neighborhood air monitoring through a revamped Breathe Easy Dallas initiative.
West Dallas, Dixon Circle, Floral Farms and Joppa will soon each have two air monitors. Right now, the two in West Dallas and two in Dixon Circle are installed. By the end of the year, the city will install 40 air monitors. As the city buys more air monitors, they will include other air pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and volatile organic compounds., the pollutants of concern are SO2 and particulate matter,” Evans said.
“They haven’t asked for any kind of collaboration at all,” Schermbeck said. “People have suggested that they at least plug in these monitors to the network map, because they don’t appear to have any map of their own yet.” “We’re trying to reel other departments into doing stuff we need done that isn’t necessarily on their list,” said Susan Alvarez, assistant director of the Office of Environmental Quality and Sustainability.
