Impacted Communities

Across the United States, children are developing cancer at alarming rates, many are rare and aggressive cancers that doctors do not typically see in young patients. In community after community, parents are asking the same question:

Why is this happening in my town?

Trevor’s Law was passed to help identify and track childhood cancer clusters linked to environmental contamination. Yet almost a decade after the bill was passed nothing has been done to implement Trevor’s Law. Federal and state health departments are dismissing chemically impacted communities concerns by saying there is no problem, no cluster exists or like in the case of East Palestine, Ohio purposely testing with malfunctioning equipment, testing in the wrong locations and suppressing data. This makes private testing even more crucial to bring justice and protection to our communities.

You cannot fix what you refuse to measure.

Trevor’s Trek Foundation exists to break this cycle of denial. Through our partnership with Omega-ESG we have access to proven technology that can detect and monitor chemical contaminants in air, water and soil 24/7 in real time across entire communities. This technology is already in use around the world with documented success.

Once we have the data, denial becomes much harder

By implementing our own testing we will be able to get honest, reliable, scientifically backed data in impacted communities, making a government denial of a problem much more difficult

Mitigation and Remediation

Once we are able to collect data on an environment in a community we can focus on mitigation by implementing Omega’s cutting edge air and water filtration devices in the municipality.

Government agencies continue to stall but our children cannot wait!

We need your help! Your donation will help us:

• Deploy monitoring to prove contamination exists
• Protect children with clean air and water solutions
• Force accountability using irrefutable scientific evidence

Supporting this effort delivers measurable public health impact, real-world data transparency and visible Environmental, Social and Governance leadership in protecting children and communities nationwide.

Every contribution moves us from denial to detection and from detection to protection.

The first step is environmental detection and analysis

Real-time monitoring helps communities and decision-makers:

• Detect and document pollution events as they happen
• Identify patterns (time of day, wind direction, operational cycles)
• Build credible evidence for targeted follow-up testing and remediation
• Create transparency with dashboards, alerts, and shared reporting

Our approach: deploy modern, connected sensors + analytics

We are raising funds to deploy Ellona environmental detection and analysis hardware in high-concern areas—near schools, neighborhoods, and “fenceline” zones—paired with a data platform that turns continuous readings into actionable insights.

Ellona designs monitoring solutions that combine field devices with a real-time analysis platform for identifying and understanding emissions and their potential sources.

Product overview(the systems we seek to fund):

1. Pro — Premium outdoor monitoring (advanced emissions + source intelligence)

Advanced outdoor unit designed for complex environments and emissions monitoring. This can integrate up to 6 electrochemical sensors and 2 optical sensors (or 1 optical + 1 PID configuration depending on needs).

Outdoor monitoring is essential near suspected sources (industrial corridors, landfills, ports, wastewater facilities, high-traffic roads). With the right sensor configuration, a Pro system deployment can help characterize recurring events and guide confirmatory testing.

Ellona indicates users can select from a list of ~25 gases for WT1 configurations, including common regulated and nuisance pollutants (examples Ellona lists include NO₂, SO₂, CO, O₃, H₂S, NH₃, among others)

2. Pro- Lite — Benchmark outdoor monitoring (fenceline + smart city contexts)

A simplified outdoor option suited for periphery/fenceline monitoring and “smart city” style deployments.

Pro-Lite can integrate up to 4 electrochemical sensors and 1 optical sensor.

This can be a cost-efficient way to build a distributed neighborhood network (multiple nodes) to identify where and when events occur—often the missing ingredient for accountability and follow-through.

3. POD— Indoor monitoring (healthier buildings, schools, and community spaces)

POD is an indoor monitoring solution for continuous observation of multiple indoor environmental parameters.

Capable of measuring up to five gases simultaneously (configured as 4 electrochemical + 1 optical sensor) from a selectable list.

In higher-concern areas, indoor environments (homes, classrooms, community centers) are where people spend most of their time. Indoor monitoring helps identify whether certain events correlate with indoor air changes and whether mitigation is needed (ventilation, filtration, source control).

4. Fine particle monitoring (portable “alerts” for particulate exposure)

A portable device designed to monitor fine particulate matter and provide immediate alerts—initially positioned around construction/occupational contexts.

5. The analysis and visualization layer

Our real-time monitoring and analysis platform, used to visualize, store, analyze, and trigger alerts from connected devices.

Ellona also emphasizes frequent refresh and multi-variable analysis to move from raw sensor data to insights.

How a community deployment works (what donations enable)

What we install

A typical deployment includes:

• Outdoor nodes around likely impact zones and suspected source directions
• Indoor nodes (POD2) in sensitive locations (schools, clinics, community centers)
• Optional investigation tools (
• The platform for dashboards, alerts, and reporting

What the community receives

• Continuous time-stamped data (not just occasional snapshots)
• Event detection (spikes, patterns, correlation with weather/time)
• Transparent reporting that can be shared with stakeholders
• A stronger basis for follow-up lab testing and agency engagement

(Important note: monitoring data is informational and should be paired with appropriate confirmatory methods where required.)

What we can do for the communities

Deployment of positioning centers on connected sensing + advanced analytics:

• Continuous monitoring with frequent data refresh (Ellona describes analysis updates every 10 seconds via its platform).
• Use of multivariate analysis and modeling to help interpret complex real-world emissions (not just single-gas readings).
• A product family spanning outdoor fenceline/emissions monitoring, indoor air monitoring, and fine particle monitoring, connected to a unified software layer.

What donations pay for (suggested line items)

• Hardware acquisition
• Connectivity & mounting (power, enclosures, poles/walls, SIM/data plans where needed)
• Software licensing / platform access and configuration
• Deployment labor (site survey, installation, calibration/commissioning)
• Community reporting (dashboards, monthly summaries, incident reports)
• Maintenance (preventive checks, sensor servicing, replacements)

Help us measure the danger—so communities can act

When a neighborhood suspects contamination, families often face the same roadblock: not enough real-time data to prove when pollution events occur and how severe they are. Continuous monitoring helps turn concerns into evidence—so agencies, schools, and operators can respond with urgency and precision.

Your donation helps us purchase and deploy monitoring systems—outdoor, indoor, and particulate—paired with analytics that translate sensor readings into actionable information.

What we commit to

• Deploy systems in high-concern areas using an installation plan designed for transparency
• Publish regular summaries and notify stakeholders when threshold events occur
• Use monitoring results to support targeted follow-up testing and remediation discussions
• Maintain equipment so the community has reliable data over time
