A Look At Ohio EPA’s Extensive And Successful Air Monitoring Network
Since the passage of the Clean Air Act in 1970, Ohio has made significant strides in achieving good air quality. Part of the cleaner air the state now enjoys comes from shifts in manufacturing practices and the choices people have made to drive more fuel-efficient cars. But all of the achievements are owed in part to air monitoring efforts that have allowed environmental officials to track progress. 
 
As part of its air quality maintenance work, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency works with district offices, contract agencies and health departments around the state to oversee monitoring stations that keep track of six key pollutants: carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, particulate matter and sulfur dioxide.

Ruminant livestock, including beef and dairy cattle, as well as goats and sheep, account for about 27 percent of methane production in the U.S., making them significant contributors to overall greenhouse gas production. An ongoing study from Arizona State University is exploring whether these same livestock might actually help sequester carbon from the atmosphere when managed under some innovative practices. 
 
Using a technique called adaptive multi-paddock grazing, farmers would delegate livestock to small fields for short periods of grazing. Livestock are ushered between a greater number of fields more frequently than in traditional management schemes, emulating the migratory habits of wild herd animals.

California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly, SLO), has been monitoring Morro Bay for decades, and while the monitoring program has changed over the years, the dedication to monitoring the bay has remained the same. 
 
The project started in 2006 as a Packard Foundation-funded initiative to monitor water quality flowing in and out of Morro Bay. The goal at the time was to use the data collected to develop and inform an ecosystem-based management plan in collaboration with the Morro Bay National Estuary Program (MBNEP). 
 
Since the estuary was the focus at the time, researchers were monitoring water flowing into the estuary from Chorro Creek and Los Osos Creek.
