West of 15th Ave. N & North Logan Intersection Air Monitoring Station, Texas City, Texas | US EPA AQS Network

The West of 15th Ave. N & North Logan Intersection air monitoring station is located at 2701 13th Ave North at Logan in Texas City, Texas, within Galveston County. This operational station is part of the US EPA National Exposure Research Lab's monitoring network, which supports the EPA's Air Quality System (AQS) by collecting ambient air data to assess compliance with National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). As an air monitoring station, this facility measures criteria pollutants such as ozone, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and lead, as well as meteorological parameters. The station's siting in an industrial and urban area provides representative data for population exposure and regulatory assessments. The US EPA AQS network ensures standardized data collection and reporting, with quality assurance protocols to maintain data integrity. The station plays a critical role in environmental monitoring for Texas City, a hub for petrochemical and industrial activities. Continuous data from this station helps track air quality trends, support health advisories, and inform emission reduction strategies. Its location near major roadways and industrial sources enhances the understanding of local pollution dynamics, contributing to community health protection and regulatory compliance.

Texas City is home to a large petrochemical complex and port, making air quality monitoring essential for detecting industrial emissions and traffic-related pollutants. The station's location near a major intersection captures both mobile source and industrial impacts. Parameter coverage typically includes criteria pollutants and meteorological data, with siting designed to represent population exposure. Reporting continuity through the US EPA AQS ensures long-term trend analysis and regulatory compliance with NAAQS.
