Bucknell researchers launch Coal Region air quality monitors

Lewisburg, Pa. — A recent emergency in Mount Carmel Township due to smoke from a culm bank and mine fire in Locust Gap exemplifies why a Bucknell University research team has begun an air quality monitoring project. By establishing a network of air quality monitors, the team can better understand the air quality of a region shaped by anthracite coal mining and environmental challenges. Supported by a $250,000, two-year grant through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 3 Thriving Communities Grantmaking program, the group is establishing an air quality monitoring network across Pa.’s lower anthracite Coal Region to investigate potential pollution risks and provide residents with information about the air they breathe. Professors Doug Collins, chemistry; Dabrina Dutcher, chemical engineering and chemistry; and Brian King, computer science, faculty fellow for the Dominguez Center for Data Science (DCDS), have teamed up with Shaunna Barnhart, program director of the Place Studies Program in The Ecology Center to lead the project. Sophisticated monitoring equipment has already been installed at nine locations across Mount Carmel, Kulpmont, and Shamokin, with additional sites planned. The instruments measure multiple air pollutants, helping researchers establish a baseline of environmental conditions in communities where comprehensive air quality data

Danville Child Development Center to celebrate playground reopening

Danville, Pa. — Danville Child Development Center will celebrate the reopening of its renovated playground with a community celebration and ribbon-cutting ceremony. The event at 4 p.m. Friday, Nov. 20, titled “DCDC’s Biggest FEAT for DCDC’s Littlest FEET!”, is open to families, friends, alumni, community supporters and project partners. The Columbia-Montour Chamber of Commerce will take part in the ribbon-cutting at 986 Wall Street. Children and teachers at the Wall Street location have been unable to use the playground for three years while the renovation was underway, the center said. “This project has been three years in the making, and seeing it finally come together is truly monumental for our center. For the past three years, our teachers have not been able to take the children out to the playground, and that is something we have all missed. Outdoor play is such an important part of early childhood development. It gives children the opportunity to explore, build friendships, develop new skills and simply enjoy being kids. This reopening means so much to our children, but it also means a great deal to our teachers and staff, who have patiently waited alongside them for this day. We are incredibly excited to
