The Mystic River Watershed Association said it chose Malden, Everett, Charlestown and East Boston as locations for its air quality monitoring study because of limited local data and disproportionate transportation-related pollution. (Scott Anderson/Patch)MALDEN, MA — A recently awarded federal grant will pay for air quality monitoring in various locations around Boston, including sites in Malden, the regional Mystic River Watershed Association announced earlier this month. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency awarded its $499,979 grant to the Watershed Association in November as part of a package of grants for Massachusetts communities funded through the federal Inflation Reduction Act.
