U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
3-Part Webinar Series
National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS)
The U.S. Environmental Protection agency (EPA) hosted a three-part webinar series on the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for communities.
Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), the EPA is required to set the NAAQS and review those standards every five years for six common air pollutants (also known as "criteria" air pollutants). There are NAAQS for ground-level ozone (O3); particulate matter (PM); carbon monoxide (CO), lead (Pb), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). These criteria air pollutants are found all across the United States and can harm your health, the environment, and cause property damage.
In this webinar series you will learn how the EPA: 1) sets, reviews and revises the primary (health) and secondary (environmental) standards; 2) designate areas that are meeting or not meeting these standards; and 3) works with areas to meet and maintain these standards.
During each 90 minute webinar, there was an overview presentation of the topic followed by a question and answer session.
