Los Angeles Times | "Putting dirty air on notice in the Palisades"
The Los Angeles Times quoted the UCLA Fielding School's Dr. Yifang Zhu about her team's work to install air quality sensors in Los Angeles County.
Dr. Yifang Zhu, professor in the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health's Department of Environmental Health Sciences, was interviewed by the Los Angeles Times about her team's work on the public health impacts of the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires.
A team led by Zhu completed the installation of 20 air quality monitoring stations in West Los Angeles in July, allowing residents across the region to get up to date information on air quality as reconstruction work moves forward after the devastating Palisades fire.
“Air quality can change frequently, like when there is construction or debris removal without adequate migration,” said Zhu, director of the CAP AIR project. “The whole purpose of this dashboard is to give people information, as close to real-time as possible, so they can make decisions to help protect their health.”
