Cheverly

Amidst community concerns of toxic emissions from a local metal recycling scrap yard and the impending expansion of the nearby Baltimore-Washington Parkway, the Town Council of Cheverly, MD approached the CEEJH Lab to establish a stationary air quality monitoring network throughout town. The proposed network will comprise more than 30 particulate matter sensors hosted by town residents, business, and public services buildings. The current memorandum of understanding addresses how the network will be maintained, how all resulting data will be hosted and managed transparently and openly available to the public, and how the results of the monitoring will be translated for, and disseminated to, community members through a user-friendly online platform as well as in-person community events.
