Gustavo Aguirre a community organizer with Global Community Monitoring attaches a particulate monitor to a pole outside of Comunity Recycling & Resource Reconvery, Inc. outside of Arvin, California in Kern County. The monitor will run for 24 hours to collect PM 2.5, particulate matter in the air that can indicate acute health risks. Aguirre strategically places the monitor outside of Community Recycling because members of the community are concerned about pollution that comes from the facility that recycles bio waste from Los Angeles.
