The U.S. EPA Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) held a two hour satellite seminar on the revisions to the lead NAAQS. This broadcast features EPA experts discussing the revisions to the primary and secondary standards set in 1978, the health effects related basis
for the revisions and the process that led to the revisions. The broadcast addresses new monitoring requirements and the strategy for transitioning from the old lead standard to the new standards. A panel of experts answered questions that came in via email and telephone from the audience. Materials may be downloaded at http://www.epa.gov/apti to accompany the program.

This broadcast is for air quality professionals from state, local, and tribal governments, along with others interested in the revisions to the lead NAAQS and implementation of the revised standards.

This 3-hour training program for air quality personnel discusses the interactions between climate change and air quality programs. Part one of the broadcast explores possible impacts of climate change on air quality and how emissions of criteria pollutants may impact climate. This segment features leading scientists, researchers, and environmental professionals describing multi-pollutant approaches and tools that are addressing those impacts.

The second part of the program highlights two successful initiatives: Connecticut’s Climate Change Action Plan and the Sustainable Skyline Initiative featuring Dallas. This segment features business leaders, elected officials and air quality planners. A question and answer session immediately follows each segment.

The target audience for this broadcast are state, local, and tribal air quality professionals. Others such as city planners and city officials also may find this of interest.
