Description
The LA-Pico Rivera site is located in Los Angeles County, CA and is operated by the South Coast Air Quality Monitoring District (AQMD). The Los Angeles basin is one of the most polluted airsheds in the United States; its urban landscape, housing a variety of anthropogenic and biogenic pollution sources, and its basin topography have contributed substantially to decades of poor air quality. Within ASCENT, it is paired with the Rubidoux and Joshua Tree sites to study the transport and transformation of pollutants across Southern California.
