Although they aren't scientists, the data they collect helps the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality keep a closer watch than it otherwise could on the health of the Verde River, which is a significant source of drinking water for Valley residents.

Residents in Colorado and New Mexico found 22 toxic chemicals in the air near oil and gas drilling operations there.

The chemicals found included four known carcinogens, and the amounts ranged from three to 3,000 times levels considered safe, according to a report by Global Community Monitor. The California- based group helps communities use environmental monitoring tools to track and understand fossil fuel pollution.

• Oregon Dept. Of Transportation Vows to Increase Monitoring of Pollution

The Oregon Department of Transportation will step up efforts to monitor and test storm-water runoff from roads in order to avoid a potential lawsuit. The Northwest Environmental Defense Center in January sent a letter announcing it planned to sue ODOT because the agency wasn't adequately monitoring chemical effluents spilling off the sides of roads. The environmental group said ODOT is required to monitor that runoff under the terms of a statewide storm-water permit issued by the Department of Environmental Quality.

WASHINGTON - The number of days that beaches closed or posted warnings because of pollution rose sharply in 2003 due to more rainfall, increased monitoring and tougher standards, an environmental group said on Thursday.
