Improved Air Quality Monitoring: New Technologies for Healthier Communities

This act aims to improve air quality in your area by better collecting pollution data. With new monitoring technologies, authorities will have more accurate information on local threats, allowing for more effective protective actions, especially in communities most exposed to pollution. This means potentially healthier air to breathe for you and your family.
Key points
Introduction of new, advanced technologies for air quality monitoring, including local sensors and satellite data.
Creation of a publicly available online tool with information on monitoring technologies and their applications, linked to mapping tools for pollution-prone areas.
Establishment of an expert working group to develop standards and recommendations for air monitoring systems, including for highly polluted areas.
Conducting a nationwide inventory of existing air quality monitoring infrastructure to identify gaps and modernization needs.
Allocation of $11 million annually for fiscal years 2024-2028 to implement these changes and hire additional specialists.
