Urban Air Toxics Monitoring Program (UATMP)
•The UATMP has provided sample collection and analysis support since 1987 to encourage state, local, and tribal agencies to understand and appreciate the nature and extent of potentially toxic air pollution in urban areas.
•Participation in the UATMP is voluntary; aside from the NATTS, target pollutants and monitor siting are at the discretion of each participant agency.
•UATMP assures analytical consistency among participants.
2007 UATMP Sites
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (2006f)
UATMP is used by a variety of networks including some NATTS, some local-scale, and some 105-funded air toxics monitoring sites.
All UATMP samples are analyzed in a central laboratory for concentrations of VOCs, carbonyls, SVOCs, and metals.
The laboratory is centrally managed by EPA’s Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) Air Quality Assessment Division.

Data validation and AQS data entry are standard
Site support (provide monitors, instrument certification, installation, troubleshooting, etc.) available.
