Air quality sensors will be delivered to Tijuana, Mexico to monitor particulate matter in the air and improve overall air quality in the border region. The region includes San Diego, the California Air Resources Board announced Tuesday.
A network of 50 sensors is expected to be placed in and around Tijuana, a region which CARB said"is subject to emissions from heavy industry and international trade, and is a primary health concern for overburdened communities along the border."
Data gathered from the sensors will be used to identify sources generating high concentrations of particulate matter pollution and Mexican officials will share information with CARB on any emission-reduction actions they take. The project will confer"substantial air quality and public health benefits to the San Diego area with increased enforcement activity by the city of Tijuana based on data from the new air sensor network," according to CARB.
