An anonymous donor recently pledged $50,000 towards a FT-IR Spectroscopy (Fourier Transform Infrared) air monitor for Corrales residents suffering from Intel's pollution near their homes. The donation came following a community meeting regarding SWOPs Bucket Brigade, a low-cost community monitoring system.
Residents are excited to be taking things into their own hands by using the buckets, but most just want to know what they are breathing. Experts say FT-IR is the best technology to date to keep Intel accountable to the communities they pollute.
"We wish Intel would pay for it," adds Robby Rodriguez, SWOP organizer. "They're the ones polluting."
