City Awarded Air Monitoring Grant
Federal Agency Supports Anti-Pollution Efforts
Partnerships were formed and communication and transparency were crucial. This work led to SCAQMD recognizing Paramount with a Model Community Achievement Award.
Committed to the health and safety of residents, the Paramount City Council last year made the decision to maintain funding for ongoing monitoring.
The City has been awarded $319,754 in grant funds by the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for its air quality monitoring program that measures possible pollutants from metal-related businesses and ensures toxins are not emitted into the air at harmful levels.
The funding will cover the program’s costs for two years. Paramount was the only municipal recipient of this funding in the state.
In late 2016, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) launched what it called “the most extensive hexavalent chromium air monitoring program in the world in Paramount” due to the discovery of spikes in the levels of the metal.
In 2021, concluding that the hex chrome numbers had been “low and stable” for an extended period, the agency discontinued its monitoring.
During that time, the City dedicated an unprecedented amount of resources to meet the air quality issue head on.
After a year of testing, the results continue to be very positive. Samples are taken every six days, and readings have averaged 0.2 ng. According to SCAQMD, any reading under 1.0 ng is considered an acceptable level.
With support from the EPA, the City’s commitment to a healthy community and environmental sustainability is strengthened.
