Air Quality Program
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.
