Community Air Monitoring Data
Air districts will report community air monitoring data to CARB and CARB will publish these data online in AQview. Following these 14 elements will allow CARB and the public to understand the nature of the data generated and how it can be used. This will ensure that monitoring has been designed at a level of scientific rigor sufficient to meet air monitoring goals and support actions for each community. CARB will review community air monitoring plans to verify that criteria for each of the 14 elements are met prior to making the data available on the statewide data portal.
