To provide further protection to children, the ARB is implementing a number of new activities to evaluate and reduce those health risks. Air monitoring data from a pilot study in the community of Barrio Logan is now available at the Barrio Logan web page. The ARB invites the communites of Fruitvale and Oakland, and Wilmington Park to community meetings to learn more about a special study starting in their communities to measure the air pollution that children breathe in the areas where they live and play. The ARB would like to hear comments and suggestions, from the local communities, about air pollution sources in their communities and where portable monitoring equipment might be placed. General Information Information about the ARB's Children's Environmental Health program is provided.
Information includes upcoming workshops and one page information handouts.
The ARB has selected six site locations for expanded monitoring. Details are provided about the location and the surrounding communities.
