Presentations from the Deliberating Performance Targets for Air Quality Sensors Workshop (June 25-27, 2018)

On June 25-27, 2018, in Research Triangle Park, NC, EPA held a workshop and webinar to solicit individual stakeholder views related to non-regulatory performance targets for sensors that measure fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone  in the United States. Through on-site and webinar presentations, national and international participants addressed a range of technical issues involved in establishing performance targets for air sensor technologies. The workshop presentations are listed below. For more information on the workshop, visit www.epa.gov/air-research/deliberating-performance-targets-air-quality-sensors-workshop.
