Community members in Laredo are being encouraged to participate in a local initiative. The goal is to track and reduce a type of pollution known as fine particulate matter. This pollution comes from various sources, including exhaust and natural particles.

A local organization has created a tool to show the levels of this pollution in the area. The tool is available to the public and can be accessed online. Further information about this initiative is available from the organization leading the effort, which is currently in the process of engaging with the community over a two-year period.
