  1. Air Monitoring Stations Near Los Angeles Highways Danielle Fasse

  2. Midterm Recap Prepared by: Danielle Fasse

  3. Locations of Elementary Schools and Air Monitoring Stations Prepared by: Danielle Fasse

  4. Distance of Schools to Closest Air Monitoring Station Prepared by: Danielle Fasse

  5. *This includes only LA County elementary schools within 150m of a major highway.

  6. LA County Air Monitoring Station Buffer (275m) & LA County Major Highway Buffer (150m) Prepared by: Danielle Fasse

  7. LA County Air Monitoring Station Less Than 275m from Major Highway Prepared by: Danielle Fasse

  8. Variables to Determine Location of New Air Monitoring Station • Distance from elementary schools that are within 150 meter buffer of major highway • Distance from major highway • Distance from existing air monitoring stations

  9. Hot Spot Analysis • Explain variables

  10. Desired Location for New Air Monitoring Station: Depending on Distance from Elementary Schools within 150m of Major Highway Prepared by: Danielle Fasse

  11. Desired Location for New Air Monitoring Station: Depending on Distance from Major Highways Prepared by: Danielle Fasse

  12. Desired Location for New Air Monitoring Station: Depending on Distance from Existing Air Monitoring Stations Prepared by: Danielle Fasse

  13. Variables for Desired Location of a New Air Monitoring Station Prepared by: Danielle Fasse

  14. Index of Variables • Weights were given to each variable: • Distance from major highway (x5) • Distance from elementary schools that are within 150 meter buffer of a major freeway (x3) • Distance from existing air monitoring station (x2)

  15. Desired Location for New Air Monitoring Station Prepared by: Danielle Fasse

  16. Desired Location for New Air Monitoring Station Prepared by: Danielle Fasse

  17. Policy Implications • There is a large gap in air quality monitoring. • Air monitoring station locations must be mandated to be near highways

  18. Skills Used • Modeling • Measurement • Original Data (air monitoring stations) • Hot Spot Analysis • Network Analysis (Closest facility) • Chart • Buffering • Inset Map • Select by attributes (major highways derived from all highways and selected by FCC category of A15) • Geocoding
