The goal of this project is to look for trends in air quality and help the Pleasantville and Clinton Park communities monitor their outdoor air exposure and associated health conditions. The analysis includes determining the percentage of time that the community is exceeding the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) yearly and daily standards, determining the percentage of time that the community is exceeding levels that researchers have determined result in poor health outcomes, and times of the day and days of the week when these concerning measurements are occurring to potentially identify the source. The analysis is also meant to inform residents of when their air quality is dangerous and when they should take precautions while outdoors. This information will be updated monthly on the ACTS website below.

What are some of the advantages/benefits of being able to access this air monitoring information:

• Residents have 24-hour internet access to view the devices.
• Color coding allows easy identification of readings.
• End users can create graphs.
• The data has led to the deployment of a federal equivalent monitor (FEM) in the Pleasantville community by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).
