How do I monitor for air pollutants in the ambient air or from emission sources?
Chapters 6 and 7 of U.S. EPA’s Introduction to Air Pollution Control online course provide specific methods and principles for ambient air quality monitoring and the measurement of pollutant emissions. This course is designed to present an introductory view of all major, practical aspects of air pollution control, intended primarily for those unfamiliar with governmental control of air pollution or those who require a general knowledge of the principles and practices associated with air pollution control. To learn about the U.S. EPA’s Air Quality System (AQS) you may visit the AQS website or access the computer based training by clicking here (this link will prompt you to download a 35 MB file). As with the other management activities related to the AQM process, it is critical to contact the regulated community and other affected parties, as the public should be consulted as part of the process.
