Construction has begun on a site to house an air-quality monitoring station at Pacific Way elementary in Aberdeen.
The station, a joint project of the provincial Ministry of Environment, KGHM Ajax and School District 73, will measure air quality and various particulates, along with wind speeds and direction and air temperature. The ministry will operate the station, which is expected to start recording data next month.
The funding agreement was completed in June, with the district providing the location and the ministry and KGHM Ajax sharing the costs. KGHM Ajax will pay for maintenance and twice-yearly audits of particulate monitors at the site.
