A new movement concerning air-quality standards has arisen and involves a higher level of community stakeholder interest. The EPA-backed movement, Environmental Justice, recognizes the health and safety of communities located near industrial sources. A discussion covers the typical lifecycle of a fence line monitoring project; case studies involving a refinery that worked with stakeholders to implement a fence line monitoring program to gather data and reduce misunderstandings; fence line monitoring used as a release warning system; monitoring of emissions emanating from the remediation site; elements of community-based monitoring systems; typical compounds detected by each type of technology used in fence line monitoring, e.g., CO, ethanol, ethylene, NOx, and NH3. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the Environmental Conference (Denver, CO 9/21-22/2009).
