The JHS 45 air monitoring station was originally established in 1981 as a sulfur dioxide, fine and coarse particulate (dichotomous samplers) and Total Suspended Particulate site. The site was shut down in 1985 and then reestablished as a Federal Reference
Method fine particulate (PM_2.5) monitoring site in January 2000. A duplicate PM_2.5 sampler was installed in January 2006 after being removed from the PS 59 station to continue to provide accuracy data for the PM_2.5 network. The FRM PM_2.5 samplers at JHS 45 are part of the overall PM_2.5 monitoring network used for comparison to the National Ambient Air Quality Standards.
