Situated adjacent to the Port of Oakland - the city of West Oakland is severely impacted by diesel particulate pollution. WOEIP initiated the 'Personal Air Monitoring Project' to have students and out-of-work community members walk around the neighborhood with an industrial air-monitoring device to collect data about local air quality. The results of their research has brought WOEIP national attention - Congresswoman Barbara Lee and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson visited WOEIP for a presentation on their preliminary results.
