- "Environmental monitoring describes the processes and activities that need to take place to characterize and monitor the quality of the environment." - "Environmental monitoring is used in the preparation of environmental impact assessments, as well as in many circumstances in which human activities carry a risk of harmful effects on the natural environment."
The measurement and analysis of air quality, including the use of sensors, satellites, and other technology.
Basics of Atmospheric Chemistry: This topic covers the fundamentals of atmospheric chemistry, including the composition of the Earth's atmosphere, the greenhouse effect, and the role of atmospheric chemistry in climate change.
Air Pollutants: This topic covers the sources and effects of air pollutants, including carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and ozone.
Air Quality Standards: This topic covers the various air quality standards set by regulatory agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the World Health Organization (WHO).
Air Quality Monitoring: This topic covers the different methods used to monitor air quality, including the use of sensors and air quality indices.
Air Quality Data Analysis: This topic covers the analysis of air quality data, including statistical techniques and visualization methods.
Health Effects of Air Pollution: This topic covers the health effects of exposure to air pollutants, including respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.
Climate Change: This topic covers the impact of atmospheric chemistry on climate change, including greenhouse gas emissions and global warming.
Environmental Policy: This topic covers the laws and regulations related to air quality and atmospheric chemistry, including the Clean Air Act and the Kyoto Protocol.
Indoor Air Quality: This topic covers the quality of air inside buildings, including the sources of pollutants and strategies to improve indoor air quality.
Air Pollution Control Technologies: This topic covers the different technologies used to control air pollution, including emission controls on vehicles and industrial sources, and the use of renewable energy sources.
Continuous monitoring: This type of monitoring involves measuring the concentration of pollutants on a continuous basis, providing real-time data on air quality.
Passive monitoring: Passive monitoring methods use materials or devices to absorb pollutants in the air. These materials are then analyzed to determine the concentration of pollutants in the air.
Manual monitoring: Manual monitoring methods involve collecting samples of air and analyzing them in a laboratory. This type of monitoring is not continuous and is typically used to validate data from other monitoring methods.
Remote monitoring: Remote monitoring involves the use of sensors or other devices to monitor air quality in locations that are difficult to access.
Mobile monitoring: Mobile monitoring involves the use of devices that can be moved from one location to another to measure air quality in different areas.
Low-cost monitoring: Low-cost monitoring methods are designed to provide an affordable alternative to traditional monitoring methods, making it possible for more people to monitor air quality.
Satellite monitoring: Satellite monitoring involves the use of satellite data to monitor air quality over large areas. This type of monitoring provides a broad view of air quality but may not be able to capture detailed information on the concentration of specific pollutants.
Source-specific monitoring: Source-specific monitoring involves monitoring air quality at the source of a pollutant, such as a factory or power plant.
Indoor air quality monitoring: Indoor air quality monitoring involves measuring the concentration of pollutants in the air inside buildings. This type of monitoring is important for protecting the health of occupants.
Personal exposure monitoring: Personal exposure monitoring involves monitoring the concentration of pollutants that individuals are exposed to on a daily basis. This type of monitoring can be used to identify areas or activities where exposure to pollutants is high.

- "All monitoring strategies and programs have reasons and justifications which are often designed to establish the current status of an environment or to establish trends in environmental parameters."
- "In all cases, the results of monitoring will be reviewed, analyzed statistically, and published."
- "The design of a monitoring program must therefore have regard to the final use of the data before monitoring starts."
- "Environmental monitoring includes monitoring of air quality, soils and water quality."
