Research: Air, Climate and Energy:
The Air, Climate and Energy (ACE) Research Program promotes innovative, sustainable, and integrated solutions
to air pollution and climate change. ACE provides models and tools necessary for policy makers at all levels
of community and government to make the best decisions.
ACE’s integrated research supports the Agency’s implementation of the Clean Air Act, especially the National
Ambient Air Quality Standards, which set limits on how much tropospheric ozone, particulate matter, carbon
monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and lead are allowed in the atmosphere. The program also evaluates
the risks associated with hazardous air pollutants, also known as air toxics. ACE is an active participant in
the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP), the interagency Federal effort to improve scientific understanding
of climate change and global change.
Beginning in FY2012, the following Research Programs will be integrated into the Air, Climate and Energy Research Program:
• Clean Air Research
• Global Change Research
• Biofuels Research (w/in the Sustainability Program)
• Mercury Research (within the Human Health and Ecosystems Program)
