AIR QUALITY ASSESSMENT
When it comes to ensuring the air quality in our communities is healthy and safe, there are a number of factors to consider. Air quality assessments, or AQA, are the process of measuring and evaluating the air around us to determine its overall health.
BEYOND JUST TESTING THE AIR
AQA goes beyond just testing the air, however. It also looks at other environmental factors that can impact air quality. These factors can include things like the presence of pollutants, air pollution sources, weather patterns, and even natural events like forest fires. All of these can have a significant impact on the air we breathe, and it’s important to be aware of them.
At the same time, AQA is also used to identify potential risks associated with air quality. For example, air pollution sources can be identified and monitored to ensure that they are not contributing to unhealthy air. Additionally, AQA can be used to identify areas where air quality is already poor, so that steps can be taken to improve it.
At its core, AQA is an important tool for ensuring that the air we breathe is safe and healthy. Through careful monitoring and assessment, we can ensure that our air is safe to breathe and that our communities are protected from potential pollutants. By taking the time to conduct regular air quality assessments, we can help ensure the health and safety of our families and our environment.

WHAT IS A AQA?
At its most basic, AQA involves taking samples of the air and testing its chemical composition. This is done through a variety of methods, including direct measurements, laboratory testing, and remote sensing. These measurements can then be compared to established safety standards, such as those set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), to determine whether the air is safe to breathe.
