EPA’s National Air Monitoring Program will use this funding to enhance and extend community air monitoring at or near the fenceline by developing and refining air toxics monitoring methods including appropriate fenceline monitoring approaches; building and enhancing capacity to conduct short term monitoring for local pollutant concerns; and expanding the nation’s criteria and air toxics monitoring capabilities.

Eligible Uses: To deploy, support, and maintain community and state, local and Tribal air agency monitoring at or near the fenceline; to improve fenceline and emerging air toxics monitoring methods; to enhance mobile monitoring capabilities to address local air toxics concerns especially in low-income and disadvantaged communities and on Tribal lands; to expand national air toxics trend stations and community monitoring efforts.
