The Louisiana Bucket Brigade is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit environmental health and justice organization based in New Orleans, Louisiana. Founded in 2000, the organization works with communities neighboring state oil refineries and chemical plants to address air quality issues. ==Background== "Buckets" that sampled air quality were pioneered by attorney Edward L. Masry in 1995 after he and Erin Brockovich fell ill when exposed to fumes from a petroleum refinery in Contra Costa County, California. Unsatisfied with the monitoring conducted by government authorities, Masry hired an environmental engineer to design a low cost device which community activists could use to monitor toxin levels themselves. Denny Larson promoted the use of the buckets in other communities, including outside of California, and helped found the Louisiana Bucket Brigade. In 2001, Larson formed the "Global Community Monitor" to act as an umbrella organization for Bucket Brigades around the world. According to Larson, "The Bucket Brigade is not a scientific experiment. Our focus is on organizing. We use science, but only in the service of organizing.”〔Denny Larson, (Good Neighbor Campaign Handbook ) ''Chapter 6: Crime Scene Investigation: Tools you can use to catch and expose pollution, Bucket Brigades'' 2006〕
