Air Quality Monitoring
Eight permanent monitoring stations on the Rocky Mountain Arsenal and
two in the adjacent neighborhoods regularly tested air quality for more
than 27 chemicals of concern. In 1999 alone, there were more
than 25,000 tests conducted to monitor air quality. Air
monitoring locations were chosen to measure air quality close to the
cleanup, along the Arsenal fence line, and in the adjacent community.
Air monitoring surveillance continued until the end of July 2009.Results of the air monitoring show that
no chemical exceeded the health protective levels established for the
site since the environmental cleanup began in October 1997. In fact, the chemical
readings were significantly below the health protective
standards. Odor measurements were also below the state
standard.
