Technical Air Pollution Resources

National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS)

  • Scientific and technical information about NAAQS reviews
    • ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​This site provides scientific and technical information about current and prior reviews of the six common air pollutants.

Air Modeling

  • Support Center for Regulatory Atmospheric Modeling (SCRAM)
    • Atmospheric dispersion models that support Clean Air Act regulatory programs.

Air Monitoring

  • Air Quality System (AQS)
    • AQS provides data from thousands of ambient air monitors, meteorological data, and data quality assurance/quality control information.
  • Ambient Monitoring Technology Information Center (AMTIC)
    • ​​​​​​​AMTIC has information on ambient air quality monitoring programs, monitoring methods, quality assurance and control procedures, and federal regulations related to ambient air quality monitoring.

Air Emissions

  • Air Emissions Measurement Center (EMC)
    • EMC provides information on test methods for measuring air pollutants from smokestacks and other industrial sources.
  • Clean Air Technology Center (CATC)
    • ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​CATC provides access to resources about air pollution prevention and control technologies, including the RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse.
  • Clearinghouse for Inventories and Emissions Factors (CHIEF)
    • ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​CHIEF provides information on air emissions inventories and modeling, emissions factors, electronic reporting and the emissions monitoring knowledge base.

Analyzing Air Pollution Impacts and Control

  • Air Quality Analysis
    • AQA provides the documented analyses that support the NAAQS Review process, as well as other documented analyses of special interest.
  • Economic and Cost Analysis (ECAS) for Air Pollution Regulations
    • ECAS provides tools, including databases and models, for analyzing costs, benefits, and economic impacts of air quality management strategies, programs, and regulations.
  • Fate, Exposure, and Risk Analysis (FERA)
    • ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​FERA provides tools used to evaluate the health risks and environmental effects associated with exposure to criteria air pollutants and toxic air pollutants.
