The "Neighbors for Clean Air" are making plans to monitor the air in the Mid-Ohio-Valley.

At their third meeting, two dozen members passed the hat to pay for testing supplies to detect chromium, manganese and nickel metals in the air.
They are also planning to drive county roads at night with a Cerex Gas Measurement device.

"We're going to be doing some concerted sampling," explains SE Ohio Regional Coordinator Ruth Breech. "We're going to find out what is in the air that people are breathing, and what is that dust that's ending up on people's homes. So we're really going to be doing detective work here."

The concerned homeowners are laying the groundwork to document air quality and air pollution in the valley.
They plan on passing out fliers for Earth Day and going door to door in Marietta to explain their goals.

Their next scheduled meeting is May 2nd.
