Overview
Canton Fire St8 is an air monitoring station in Canton, Ohio, operating under the CSN SUPPLEMENTAL network. It provides ambient air quality data as part of the US EPA's monitoring framework.
Canton Fire St8 is an operational air monitoring station located at 1330 Dueber Avenue in Canton, Stark County, Ohio. It is part of the CSN SUPPLEMENTAL network, which supports the US EPA's Air Quality System (AQS) by collecting speciated particulate matter data. The station is operated by the University of California - Davis, with the most recent sample reported as of May 2025. The station operates under the regulatory framework of the US Clean Air Act, which mandates monitoring of criteria pollutants and air toxics. As a CSN SUPPLEMENTAL site, it focuses on chemical speciation of PM2.5, providing data essential for understanding source contributions and health impacts. This type of monitoring is typical for urban areas like Canton, which is part of the larger industrial and transportation corridor in northeastern Ohio. Canton Fire St8 contributes to the national air quality monitoring network, supporting public health assessments and regulatory compliance. Its data helps inform local air quality management and research on particulate matter composition. The station's location in a mixed residential and commercial area ensures representative sampling of population exposure.
Environmental context
Canton, Ohio, lies within the Ohio River Valley region, which experiences elevated levels of particulate matter due to industrial emissions, vehicle traffic, and meteorological conditions that favor pollutant accumulation. The CSN SUPPLEMENTAL network provides detailed chemical speciation of PM2.5, aiding in source apportionment and health studies. This station's data supports the EPA's efforts to track compliance with National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and to evaluate the effectiveness of emission reduction strategies.
