This presentation highlights the City of Brownsville&#8217;s ongoing work to establish a community-based air quality monitoring network designed to better understand local exposure patterns and inform public health action. Attendees will learn about partnership development, sensor placement strategies, community outreach efforts, and the use of interactive tools that increase public access to environmental information.
