Air Quality Event
APR 01, 2015, WED

Description:

Another surprise event.

Kind of typical accumulation of particulate in the Monongahela Valley but what suprized me was the recorded PM10 levels at the North Braddock monitor site.

And what else?
No DEP station data being reported to AirNow.gov
and Lawrenceville sees virtually nothing.

Optimal vantage point, sun does emphisizes fine particulate matter.

North Braddock Data


Not a terribly bad event at home, just missing the timely reporting of DEP station data.
