This week we continued our data collection at Cider Mill by measuring for gas leaks and found that several outdoor areas do in fact have dangerous gas leaks. Indoors we have measured NO2 in over 50 apartments and in most cases the indoor measurement is well above the EPA recommended outdoor measurement. This can cause a lot of health issues for our children. We hope to continue data collection in the coming months to put pressure for electrification and weatherization for our apartments!
