The Active National Directory of Source Emissions Testing (ActiveSET.org) -- Stack testing reference source that supports a state-by-state listing of air quality testing firms located in the U.S. and Canada. 

AIRData -- U.S. EPA provides access to air pollution data for the entire U.S.  Annual summaries of air pollution data are presented from two databases:  1) Air Quality System (AQS), which provides air monitoring data primarily in cities and towns, and 2) National Emission Inventory (NEI), which provides estimates of annual emissions of criteria and hazardous air pollutants from all types of sources.

Air Pollution State Regulations Locator -- ENVCAP (Environmental Compliance Assistance Platform State by State Information Tools web site) link to the Construction Industry Compliance Assistance (CICA) air pollution links to regulatory agencies and rules covering topics such as open burning/smoke and dust.

MACT Air Toxics -- U.S. EPA web site that include factsheets, and proposed and final air toxics rules.  Examples include:  proposed residual risk standards, gas and combustion turbine regulations, hazardous air emission reduction rules, proposed removal of ethylene glycol monobutyl ether from the CAA list of toxic pollutants, new emission standards for toxic air pollutants (maximum achievable control technology standards or MACT), toxic air reduction rules (13 final rules), proposed last air toxics standards for major sources, mobile source air toxics final rule, Great Waters Report to Congress, MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether), and the Mercury Study Report to Congress.

MACT Air Toxics Implementation Tools -- U.S. EPA air toxics implementation tools, including inspection checklists, applicability flowcharts, brochures, summaries, etc. 

MACT Center for Industrial Services (CIS) -- Toxic Air Pollutants for Regulators -- University of Tennessee CIS web page providing information on U.S. EPA maximum achievable control technology (MACT) rules.  The site includes information to assist air pollution control agencies with conducting inspections and writing permits under the MACT rules.

Glossary of Air Pollution Terms -- Glossary of general air pollution terms provided by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Air Protection Branch, edited for use in the Small Business Environmental Home Page.

MACT National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants -- U.S. EPA Technology Transfer Network (TTN), Air Toxics Website, alphabetical list of NESHAPs (MACT).

MACT National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants Compliance Monitoring -- U.S. EPA stationary source standards for hazardous air pollutants.  Hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) are pollutants that are known or suspected to cause cancer or other serious health effects, such as reproductive effects or birth defects, or adverse environmental effects.

NSPS New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and State Improvement Plans -- U.S. EPA technology based standards that apply to specific categories of stationary sources.  NSPS apply to new, modified, and reconstructed affected facilities in specific source categories such as manufacturers of glass, cement, rubber tires, and wool fiberglass.  There are approximately 75 NSPS.  Standards are found in 40 CFR Part 60.

NSR New Source Review (NSR) -- U.S. EPA preconstruction permitting program that:  1) ensures that air quality is not significantly degraded from the addition of new and modified factories, industrial boilers, and power plants; and 2) assures people that any large new or modified industrial source in their neighborhoods will be as clean as possible.  Owners/operators must abide by NSR permits including what construction is allowed, what emission limits must be met, and often how the emissions source must be operated.

NSR Region 7 Air Program Search Policy and Guidance Database -- U.S. EPA Region 7 NSR/PSD Policy and Guidance Database and Title V Policy and Guidance Database can be searched on line or downloaded to your computer if you make frequent searches.  Region 7 serves Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and 9 Tribal Nations.

TRI Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Program -- U.S. EPA publicly available database that contains information on toxic chemical releases and other waste management activities reported annually by certain covered industry groups as well as federal facilities.  The inventory was established under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA) and expanded by the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990.

TRI TRI-ME RY2005 (U.S. EPA Toxics Release Inventory - Made Easy software) -- U.S. EPA software to help facilities determine and complete their Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) section 313 (TRI) reporting obligations.  TRI-ME is an interactive, intelligent, user-friendly software that guides facilities through the TRI reporting experience.

U.S. EPA TTN Compilation of Air Pollution Emission Factors, AP-42, Fifth Edition, Volume I: Stationary Point and Area Sources -- U.S. EPA TTN Clearinghouse for Inventories & Emission Factors AP-42 publication.  Chapters include:  external combustion sources, solid waste disposal, stationary internal combustion sources, evaporation loss sources, petroleum industry, organic chemical process industry, liquid storage tanks, inorganic chemical industry, food and agricultural industries, wood products industry, mineral products industry,  metallurgical industry, miscellaneous sources, greenhouse gas biogenic sources, and ordnance detonation.  Draft sections under review and appendices also are included.
