Southland air regulators have launched a dashboard that shows particulate matter data from two monitoring sites set up this week in the Eaton and Palisades fire areas, officials said Saturday.
The monitors collect data hourly, and results are available online in near real-time, according to the South Coast Air Quality Management District, which uses data from the sites to evaluate air quality near staging areas, truck activity and other locations impacted by cleanup activities.
The monitoring sites are located near Altadena Golf Course and Will Rogers State Beach.
The dashboard is accessible by clicking on the map on the SCAQMD’s wildfire response page, at aqmd.gov/2025-wildfire-response.
Debris removal could cause hazardous dust and ash to become airborne, officials said. The continuous monitors check for dust (PM10) and fine particles (PM2.5). These can enter the lungs and may have negative health impacts. Air toxic metals and asbestos will be sampled every three days and results will be available a week after the sampling date.
