Environmental agency suggests monitoring systems to detect air pollution | Louisiana
SUMMARY: The Community Air Monitoring and Notification Task Force met to discuss real-time air quality monitoring systems. Jason Myers from the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality presented on the importance and costs associated with such systems, mandated by Senate Bill 35. This bill requires instantaneous reporting from certain facilities, primarily Title V establishments. Although many facilities listed, like bakeries and car washes, do not emit toxic pollutants, studies were conducted to address concerns. The proposed monitoring systems would cost $5.2 million initially and $800,000 annually per site, plus additional costs for an alert notification system and staffing needs.
