PICEH AIR MONITORING STATION
“MONITORING THE AIR OUR CHILDREN
BREATHE”
PICEH began operation of an air quality monitoring
station on the campus of Kutztown University in Berks County,
PA in October 2007. The station collects real-time weather data
and air pollution monitoring data, which we display on our air
monitoring website, www.PICEHAIR.org.
The monitoring station was made possible by a partnership between
the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PA DEP)
and Kutztown University with funding provided by the County
of Berks. PICEH operates the monitoring station and created
the website, which we unveiled to the public in April 2008.
