12:30-1:00PM: Discussion

1:00-2:00PM: Lunch

2:00-3:30PM: Ambient Monitoring and Assessment: Experiences from Other Countries

Lecturers (20 minutes each)

Air monitoring networks can serve a range of data needs including, but not limited to, determining compliance against air quality standards, assessing spatial and temporal trends, identifying and quantifying source-receptor linkages, supporting atmospheric science and health effects studies, and evaluating the performance of pollutant transport models. This presentation will focus on the U.S. monitoring networks for ambient particulate matter mass and species. The evolution of these networks over time provides lessons that can be used to inform the design of new networks. Networks in Hong Kong and Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, will also be briefly discussed.
