Study Reveals Telling Patterns in Local Air Quality

Caption

For the first time, a dense monitoring network recorded black carbon levels across West Oakland, producing hourly averages (a) and daily averages (b). The highest concentrations, shown in red, typically occurred where truck traffic is heaviest, for instance along Maritime Street (west of the freeways, where the sensors above form an 'L' shape).
