Project Title:
Outreach for Air Quality Area Designations
Sponsoring Office:
Office of Air and Radiation, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, Air Quality Policy Division, Geographic Strategies Group
Project Overview:
The national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for criteria pollutants are reviewed every 5 years. If a NAAQS is revised, areas of the United States that violate the revised NAAQS must be identified via a process called air quality designations. The NAAQS for several pollutants including ozone, lead, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide have recently been revised. Under this project, the fellow will conduct research on U.S. air pollutants and pollution issues, as well as the activities undertaken by EPA and state and local air pollution agencies to manage air quality to achieve national standards. The fellow will also work with OAQPS staff as they plan and produce outreach and communications materials on air quality designations for state and local air pollution.
Project Goals:
The fellow will gain critical insight into U.S. air pollution issues and activities undertaken by EPA and state and local air pollution agencies to manage air quality to achieve national standards.
Final Product of the Project:
The fellow will be expected to develop a final report and to make presentations that summarize activities completed to EPA staff and management, as well as others, as appropriate.
Project Location:
EPA Headquarters, Research Triangle Park, NC
