FAQ
Ambient air quality monitoring and testing is the process of measuring and assessing the pollutants present in the atmosphere to determine the existing air quality and take necessary actions to improve it.
Under National Air Quality Monitoring Program (NAMP), 12 pollutants are regularly monitored, including Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), Oxides of Nitrogen, Particulate Matter (PM10 and PM2.5), Ozone.
The frequency of ambient air quality testing depends on the specific location and the pollutants being monitored, but it is typically done on a regular basis, such as daily or monthly.
The responsibility for conducting ambient air quality testing typically falls on government agencies, such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or local air quality management districts. However, private companies and organizations may also conduct their own testing.
Yes, individuals can request ambient air quality testing in their area through their local government agency or air quality management district. They can also contact private companies who specialize in air quality monitoring for this service
The most common pollutants measured during ambient air quality testing include particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, ozone, lead, carbon monoxide, and ammonia. Depending on the location and industry, other pollutants may also be monitored.
