DEC to Hold Community Meeting on Community Air Monitoring Initiative Progress -- 
Hempstead/New Cassel/Roosevelt/Uniondale/Westbury

DEC announced a meeting to provide progress updates for communities participating in the 2022-23 Statewide Community Air Monitoring Initiative. This first round of meeting (Hempstead/New Cassel/Roosevelt/Uniondale/Westbury) 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.

At the meeting, DEC staff will provide an overview of the initiative and present a preliminary overview of the first quarter of air monitoring results specific to this community. Information presented will include how and where the air monitoring is conducted on the street level and how DEC will compile and analyze the data to identify potential contributors of emissions for each pollutant being monitored. Preliminary data collection is now underway, and results will be provided once additional information is compiled.

DEC will also provide an update on progress of establishing community advisory committees to engage with local stakeholders throughout this initiative. DEC will continue to hold regular meetings over the next year to update the community on the progress of the air monitoring and to provide a forum for input. Staff from DEC's Division of Air Resources and the Office of Environmental Justice will be available to answer questions and respond to feedback.
