Sierra Club challenges loss of ozone pollution monitor in Flint Hills.

Here is an excerpt from Tim Carpenter of the Topeka Capital-Journal who wrote about the topic on August 11th (2014).

“The Sierra Club in Kansas asserted Monday that Kansas State University and the state’s health regulatory agency sought the shutdown of an ozone pollution monitoring site near Manhattan to block collection of data that might support federal limits of Flint Hills grassland pasture burns.

Air-quality equipment positioned on the Konza Prairie was taken offline April 5, 2013, in advance of the burn season after the Kansas Department of Health and Environment urged Kansas State, which manages the Konza, to help silence gear that had collected ozone information for more than a decade.”
