New Online Tool Helps People Monitor Harmful Pollution in Their Neighborhoods
PACIFIC PALISADES, LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 21 – UCLA researchers deployed 20 monitors to track fine and coarse particulate matter in Palisades to address health risks during ongoing wildfire recovery, officials said.
- On July 22, 2025, the nonprofit Air Alliance Houston introduced a digital platform designed to assist residents in tracking air quality and pollution levels within their local areas.
- The tool was developed after January wildfires exposed gaps in air pollution data and community demands for real-time, granular information.
- The nonprofit placed low-cost sensors in industrial communities like Settegast, where resident Sandra Berry Hayes uses a monitor to track air particles.
- Hayes expressed that she prefers to spend time outside rather than remain confined indoors, and the air quality monitor helps her feel confident about the freshness of the air.
- This network aims to help people make informed decisions about outdoor activities by providing detailed pollution data to address health concerns and anxiety.
