“It is not clear why the city will not test this harmful pollutant,” Silk said in a statement.

The test was conducted on June 13 and 16 in three sites: downtown Memphis, the neighborhood Whitehaven, and the Boxown. The nearest site, Boxown, is two miles to the southeast of Xai. Sampling equipment ran for ten to 13 hours.

On the test dates, the winds are unlikely to move pollutants to the sites. on June 13The wind was in Memphis outside the south and southwest. on June 16They were outside the south. The only site northwest of Xai is the city center.
