Air Quality Science
Science and policy are tied together when developing legislation for air quality. Key components of the science include emissions inventories, atmospheric chemistry and meteorology. These areas are integrated into complex mathematical models that are used to replicate air quality in the past to demonstrate the model's accuracy, and predict air quality in the future. The predictions are based on carefully chosen reductions in the emissions inventories. The emissions inventory reductions are used to create science based policy.
