The NOAA Air Quality Program is a major and
unique resource in the national effort to ensure that the public has clean air
to breathe. In the often contentious field of air quality, NOAA acts as an 'honest broker",
providing unbiased scientific information and tools to air quality decision-makers. The Air
Quality Matrix Program provides environmental policy-makers at all levels of government and
resource managers information and tools to support the development of effective policies and
emissions management programs. This includes information on the key processes contributing to
poor air quality, the impacts of poor air quality, and potential solutions. The Program also
produces timely and accurate air quality forecast guidance for state and local air quality
forecasters and the public so people can take appropriate action to limit adverse effects
of poor air quality.
