Air Monitoring

Up-to-date reports on downtown's multiple air-monitoring stations are available in our air monitoring programs section, as well as via the "Get It Fast" air monitoring list. These include links to the LMDC's daily reports for 130 Liberty Street, Fiterman Hall reports, as well as updates from the LMCCC's and EPA's stationary air monitors.

Additionally, as part of its mission to mitigate the impact of construction on the Lower Manhattan community, the Lower Manhattan Construction Command Center (LMCCC) performs regular sidewalk surveys from various construction sites throughout downtown to monitor noise levels.
