| Comment | Several evenings, near Willow Ave between North & Central Ave, I
measured unsafe levels of PM 2.5 of between 50 and 150 ug/m3/min
(approx 150- 450 AQI) and higher than other areas of Fresno. I fear
that these would be the only areas with available housing for
social services to place low income people of color & people with
preexisting disabilities. Twice out of only 2 times I took dust
samples around streets or sidewalks around the RioBravo Biomass
plant, I got more positive than background results for hexavalent
chromium. I took 1 sample from the west side and the other sample
from the east side. I will take more measurements to confirm these
by Wednesday. Another burner of biomass, the winery on Olive X
Clovis Ave also tested positive for hexavalent chromium. Chestnut
Ave tested negative. Anadale Ave once tested negative & once
positive after a long time without rain.
