DEC TO HOLD COMMUNITY MEETINGS ON COMMUNITY AIR MONITORING INITIATIVE PROGRESSOpportunities for Public Input and Review of Work Underway in Rochester and Mount Vernon/Yonkers/New Rochelle |
|
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) today announced an additional two meetings to provide progress updates for communities participating in the 2022-23 Statewide Community Air Monitoring Initiative. Mobile air monitoring began in September 2022 in Rochester and Mount Vernon/Yonkers/New Rochelle. This first round of meetings will help DEC gather community input to target emission sources and future strategies to reduce air pollution in these communities, including the greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change.
