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.

Mobile air monitoring started in July 2022 in the first four of 10 areas -- the Bronx, Buffalo/Niagara Falls/Tonawanda area, Capital Region, and Manhattan. The initiative will help DEC identify sources of air pollution and climate-altering greenhouse gas emissions in these communities.
