The ARB has a network of stations that routinely
monitor California's air for a variety of pollutants
such as ozone, particulate matter, metals, and other
toxic air contaminants. In 2002, ARB began monitoring
for methyl bromide and 1,3-dichloropropene every 12
days at approximately 20 stations in primarily urban
areas throughout the State. Detailed descriptions
of this monitoring are available from the following
