  3. The EPA has different sites that test the air for aerosol levels. Locations of New York EPA Monitoring Sites: Bronx New York Botanical Garden PS 74 IS 52 PS 154 New York (Manhattan) Manhattanville PO IS 143 PS 59 Canal St. PO PS 64 Park Row Queens Kew Gardens Maspeth Library Brooklyn Brooklyn Transit Staten Island Susan Wagner HS PS 44 Fresh Kills Using the EPA Monitoring Sites On July 14th the EPA Monitoring Sites found NO2 levels in NYC to be at their highest
