pollution monitoring
Measuring environmental toxins
Pollution monitoring is the systematic measurement and tracking of contaminants in air, water, or soil.
Government agencies and environmental organizations use pollution monitoring to assess health risks, enforce regulations, and identify sources of contamination: The city installed new pollution monitoring stations near the industrial district.
Data from pollution monitoring informs policy decisions and public health advisories.
