The Foley West air monitoring station began operating on March 1, 2017 — the beginning of the 2017 ozone-monitoring season. The department relocated its original Foley monitor to this new location because of a property transfer. The original site and the current site are less than a mile apart and share the same air mass. The Foley West site helps the department characterize ground-level ozone concentrations extremely downwind of the St. Louis area and monitor attainment of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ozone. 

To learn about other air monitoring sites the department operates as part of the state's ambient air monitoring network, visit Air Monitoring Sites.
