WQ.237/2019
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT BY DEPUTY R.J. WARD OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 4th JUNE 2019
Question
Further to the response to Written Question 210/2019, in which it was stated that "plans [were] in hand to monitor the air quality experienced by children on their journeys to school using specialist lightweight monitors" and that "a memorandum of understanding [had] been signed by Environmental Health, Digital Jersey and AirSensa to investigate the collection of real-time air quality and environmental data using approximately 200 sensors across the entire Island", will the Minister state –
- what the timescale is for these actions to be undertaken and when the monitoring will take place; and
- when he envisages that the data arising from these actions will be available?
Answer
A provisional date of June 12th has been set for the monitoring of the air quality experienced by children on their journey to school. This is, however, subject to change if the weather is not conducive to accurate measurement. The data from this monitoring will be available within days of the monitoring and will be published on the States website.
Timescales for the Island-wide project are not yet available. It is hoped that work will commence later this year. I will be pleased to inform Members of the Assembly as soon as further information is available.
