With Dallas expecting millions of visitors for the World Cup, researchers are measuring how an expected increase of pollutants will affect local air quality.
Researchers at the University of Texas at Arlington plan on using the World Cup matches in Dallas as a case study to better understand how large-scale events temporarily disrupt local environment conditions.
This research is being done in collaboration with the North Central Texas Council of Governments and the city of Arlington.
Environmental sensors have been deployed around AT&T Stadium, DFW International Airport, and UTA to continuously monitor air quality and pollution levels before, during and after the World Cup.
