S 2045 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Technology Assessment for Air Quality Management Act of 2023

This bill requires the EPA to create a public online compendium of air quality monitoring technologies and their uses, including costs, accuracy, and data accessibility. It establishes a working group to develop templates for integrated community-scale monitoring systems and recommend support for environmental justice communities seeking hyperlocal air quality data. The EPA must also conduct a national inventory of existing air quality monitoring infrastructure and submit a report identifying high-priority areas for improved monitoring, especially near communities disproportionately affected by pollution. The bill authorizes $11 million annually to fund these activities and create 8 new EPA positions, without altering existing air pollution protections. It directly affects EPA operations, state/local/Tribal agencies, and communities facing elevated air pollution exposure.
