2002年，塞拉俱乐部对美国联邦公路管理局和内华达州交通部的《国家环境政策法》环境文件提出法律质疑，该文件与拟议中的内华达州拉斯维加斯95号美国公路拓宽工程有关，包括对拟议项目产生的移动的源空气有毒物质的影响进行评估。为了解决这一问题，联邦公路管理局与内华达州交通部和塞拉俱乐部达成了一项和解协议，其中政府同意进行研究，以确定空气动力学直径小于2.5 μ m的颗粒物和高速公路附近移动的源空气毒性的影响和行为。美国联邦公路管理局和美国环境保护局确定，以合作方式实施这一项目符合两个组织的最佳利益，从而能够更有效地利用人员和资源。项目实施的第一步是在内华达州的拉斯维加斯或其周围地区选择一个适当的环境空气监测点。本文介绍了多标准的分析步骤，选择附近的道路监测点，提供空气质量数据，支持环境决策，在这个项目中。爱思唯尔有限公司出版
In 2002, the Sierra Club legally challenged the US Federal Highway Administration and the Nevada Department of Transportation's National Environmental Policy Act environmental document related to the proposed widening of US 95 in Las Vegas, Nevada, including the assessment of impacts of mobile source air toxics from the proposed project. To resolve the situation, Federal Highway Administration entered into a Settlement Agreement with Nevada DOT and the Sierra Club, wherein the Administration agreed to undertake a research effort to characterize the impact and behavior of particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 mu m and mobile source air toxics near highways. The US Federal Highway Administration and US Environmental Protection Agency determined that it would be in the best interest of both organizations to implement this project in a collaborative manner, allowing a more effective utilization of staffing and resources. One of the first steps of the project implementation has been the selection of a suitable ambient air monitoring site in or around Las Vegas, Nevada. This article presents the multi-criteria analytical steps taken to select the near road monitoring sites to provide air quality data needed to support environmental decision-making in this project.
