The Iowa Department of Natural Resources today (3/10) issued an air quality advisory for Clinton, Muscatine and Scott Counties because of elevated levels of fine particulate pollution.
A 24-hour reading of 35.5 micrograms per cubic meter was recorded Tuesday (3/9) in Davenport, and levels in the high 30's to mid 50's were expected as of noon today in the three counties.
High fine particulate pollution in eastern Iowa has prompted the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to issue an air quality alert for east central Iowa Thursday (3/4) and extending into late today (3/5).
A new database web site from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provides a fast and easy-to-use source to obtain detailed information on local air and water emissions and local businesses and industries operating under EPA permits.
The site (http://www.epa.gov/myenvironment) can be searched by industries, types of emissions and EPA programs.
