Atlantic Region Ozone and PM Measurement Network

The Atlantic Region Ozone and PM Measurement Network operates 30 ozone and 17 PM2.5 sites, providing crucial data for air quality management, public health insight, and environmental research. With collaboration among agencies including MSC-A, the network supports air quality programs (AQPP), evaluates air quality indices (AQI), and engages in climatology and trend analysis. The network also examines transboundary transport and factors impacting regional air quality, including forestry, crop studies, and marine emissions, contributing significantly to modeling and health assessments across the Atlantic region.
