Air quality

The EPA and the City of Port Adelaide Enfield are partnering to involve the local community in developing and designing an air quality study for Victoria Road and surrounds. 

A community panel has been established to design the critical elements of the project, such as the location of sensors in the field. The sensors will capture information on emissions from traffic and air quality and how it may vary along the road and be affected by weather conditions.
