DEC to Hold Bronx Community Meeting on Progress of Statewide Air Monitoring Initiative

What: The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) will hold a virtual public meeting on Thursday, March 30, to provide an update for Bronx residents. Study areas in the Bronx are included as one of 10 communities that are part of DEC’s 2022-23 Statewide Community Air Monitoring Initiative.
