EPA Indoor Air Quality Testing Services at H&H Environmental
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is a government agency that is responsible for protecting human health and the environment. One of the key ways it accomplishes this mission is by monitoring air quality to ensure that it meets federal standards.
The EPA regularly measures and monitors six common pollutants in the air known as criteria pollutants: ozone, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and lead. These pollutants are known to cause health problems and environmental damage, so it is essential to keep them at levels that are safe for people and the environment.
To monitor air quality, the EPA uses a network of monitoring stations located throughout the country. These stations collect data on the levels of pollutants in the air, which is then analyzed to determine if they are within safe limits. The data collected by the EPA’s monitoring network is used to create air quality forecasts and to issue alerts when pollutant levels are high.
In addition to monitoring the air, the EPA also sets national air quality standards for the criteria pollutants. These standards are based on the latest scientific evidence about the health and environmental effects of air pollution. The EPA also works with state and local governments to implement these standards and to ensure that air quality is monitored and improved.
