Air quality
South Coast Air Quality Management District and the California Air Resources Board are working together to measure air quality in your area.
Monitoring occurs in two stages: mobile monitoring surveys and stationary monitoring.
- Stage 1 - Mobile monitoring surveys: Four mobile surveys were completed, two for the Eaton fire area and two for the Palisades fire area. Mobile surveys capture a snapshot in time of air toxic metals and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The data was used to help guide locations for stationary air monitors. They are not used to establish health risks.
- Stage 2 - Stationary air quality monitors: They measure pollutants in the air. This includes particulates (PM2.5 and PM10), lead, arsenic, other toxic metals, and asbestos.
Mobile air monitoring
Mobile air monitoring is now complete.
Results
Overall, survey results from Eaton and Palisades areas were within background levels, with some elevated levels of lead, arsenic, chromium and nickel.
