The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality will be placing an air toxics monitor in The Dalles this summer. DEQ spokesman Greg Svelund says this monitor tries to gauge air toxins from all kinds of sources, and The Dalles was chosen because the agency does not have baseline data for the city. Svelund adds the DEQ has not yet decided where to place the monitor, which will be in place for about a year, but he indicates it will be as centrally located as possible to get the best readings from as many different sources as they can. He says the monitor should arrive sometime in July. Svelund also says this monitor is unrelated to the study of naphthalene related to the Amerites plant, which is about to enter into a third 30-to-60 day monitoring period this summer.
