Claim 0:
1. A report generation method of reporting a leak in a monitored area, comprising:
providing a first pollution monitor at a first location defined by a first geographic coordinate comprising:
a housing defining:
an interior portion; and
an exterior portion;

an electronics package positioned in the interior portion of the housing; and
a pollution sensor electrically connected with the electronics package and configured to measure a concentration of an airborne pollutant and generate:
a first signal representative of a concentration of the airborne pollutant;

providing a second pollution monitor at a second location defined by a second geographic coordinate, the second pollution monitor comprising:
a housing defining:
an interior portion; and
an exterior portion;

an electronics package positioned in the interior portion of the housing; and
a pollution sensor electrically connected with the electronics package and configured to measure a concentration of an airborne pollutant and generate:
a second signal representative of the concentration of the airborne pollutant;

analyzing the first signal representative of an airborne pollutant concentration and the second signal representative of the concentration of the airborne pollutant for determining a differential concentration of the airborne pollutant;
identifying the leak when the differential concentration occurs over a predefined time period; and
reporting the leak to an operator of the monitored area.
