*Air Quality Assessment Division functional statement*:
The Air Quality Assessment Division (AQAD) drives sound air quality
management policy, decision making and accountability assessment through
the strategic application of technical and analytical leadership promoted
through open collaboration with other OAQPS divisions, other OAR offices,
ORD, other Federal agencies, State and local agencies, Tribes, and outside
groups. The AQAD leads by promoting multi-pollutant approaches to air
quality management through comprehensive integrated evaluations of multiple
sectors, spatial scales, and pollutants, meteorology, climate, and the
implications of interactions among them; and by advancing the state of the
art in emissions, modeling, ambient and source measurements, and data
analysis techniques. Division areas of emphasis include:

   - Continually improving the assessment of emissions, ambient data, and
   air quality modeling to enhance the design, implementation and evaluation
   of air quality management programs and related control strategies;
   - Producing timely and meaningful assessments of pollutant trends and
   impacts, providing the public with clear and transparent information that
   can be effectively used to help them better understand the air quality in
   their area, how it can affect their health, and how changes in their
   activities can reduce emissions and improve air quality;
   - Establishing and promoting a framework for accountability by
   developing and applying methods and definitive data bases for evaluating
   air quality management programs to determine progress, need for mid-course
   corrections and achievement of environmental goals, including attainment of
   national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) and other air quality
   benchmarks;
   - Creating value-added predictive tools and analyses, improving both the
   quality of analytical results and the timeliness of critically-needed
   information for regulatory and policy decision making;
   - Improving the credibility and transparency of our technical
   assessments by infusing and demonstrating quality throughout our analytical
   systems, methods and data; and
   Strengthening the basis for air rules and policies across OAR by leading
   technical collaboration across OAQPS, OAR, EPA, and other Federal agencies
   (e.g., NOAA, NASA and CDC) and promoting multi-pollutant, multi-media
   solutions to environmental issues.
