Under EPA’s Regional-State-Tribal Innovation Projects initiative, efforts have been made to build and deploy air quality sensor (AQS) co-location shelters across the United States by leveraging existing air monitoring stations (AMS) to allow tribes, community groups, and others to gather higher quality AQS data by co-locating with regulatory monitors. An AQS co-location shelter is available at South Coast Air Quality Management District’s Mira Loma Van Buren AMS for interested parties to co-locate their AQS. Below is the information on the AMS and the AQS co-location shelter. Power is available on site. Datalogging and transmission (e.g., WiFi) is not provided and is the responsibility of the interested party.
