This 1 hour and 43-minute broadcast provided a general overview of PM 2.5 Implementation. State, local and Tribal air pollution agency personnel will find the presentations on these topics informative:

• Overview of PM 2.5 Implementation Rule.
• PM 2.5 nonattainment picture in the next 5-10 years.
• RACT/RACM/Control Measures.
• PM 2.5 Implementation and Designations: detailed presentation information from a workshop the U.S. EPA, OAQPS held in Chicago, IL from June 20-21, 2007. The workshop featured PM 2.5 Implementation Plans due in 2008 and the Upcoming Designations for the Revised 25-hour PM 2.5 Standard.

This 45-minute seminar's focus was on new Data and Tools for Air Quality professionals. State, local and Tribal air pollution control agencies will find these tools useful in conducting technical analyses and in communicating air quality information. In this program, EPA representatives discuss the most recent air trends data and new air quality tools:

• AirCompare provides local air quality information to help air quality agencies address concerns about air quality in their communities.
• AirTrends
• BenMAP is a geographic information system-based desktop computer program that estimates changes in incidence of a variety of health outcomes associated with changes in certain ambient air pollutants and estimates the dollar value of those changes. A new version of BenMAP will be available later this summer to help air quality agencies do these analyses.
• QA Handbook Volume IV: Meteorological Monitoring is an updated resource on the EPA website to assist in setting up and operating met systems and collecting quality assured meteorological data. This met data is used in support of forecasting pollution episodes, and to understand long term transport and modeling efforts. The QA Handbook discusses measurement objectives, new technologies, digital data acquisition and verification and validations of meteorological data.
• Smog City 2 is an online interactive air pollution simulator that demonstrates how emission sources, population and weather affect air quality. It includes ozone and particle pollution demonstrations.
