Good policy is based on the best science that is available. In order to reduce pollution legislation should include specific control strategies that address the emission sources that the most significant impact. In order to identify the best control strategies detailed scientific studies are carried out using complex air quality modeling, analytical chemistry and meteorology monitoring techniques, and a variety of programs used to tabulate emissions from various pollution sources. Millions of dollars are spent each year improving emissions inventories, chemical reaction mechanisms, monitoring techniques, meteorology descriptions and the air quality models that are used to generate the formation of pollutants. The investment that is made is invaluable because it ultimately enables policymakers to identify the most economical ways of developing control strategies that reduce pollution and protect human health.
