This act aims to enhance air quality in your community by introducing modern monitoring technologies.

This will help better understand and combat health issues caused by pollution, particularly in the most vulnerable communities.
Key points
The Environmental Protection Agency will create a publicly available compendium of air monitoring technologies, helping everyone understand how pollution is measured.
An expert working group will be established to develop standards for air quality monitoring systems, considering various costs and community needs.
An inventory of existing air quality monitoring stations nationwide will be conducted to identify gaps and areas needing improvement.
The act aims to better understand and reduce air pollution, potentially improving health, especially in low-income and minority communities.
