These areas were designated "nonattainment" on October 8, 2009. The designations were published in the Federal Register on November 13, 2009. See 74 FR 58688. The EPA Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) has set National Ambient Air Quality Standards for six principal pollutants, which are called "criteria" pollutants. Under provisions of the Clean Air Act, which is intended to improve the quality of the air we breathe, EPA sets limits on how much of a pollutant can be in the air anywhere in the United States. Pursuant to section 109(d) of the CAA EPA is required to review and promulgate new NAAQS every five years, as appropriate. This ensures that all Americans have the same basic health and environmental protections. The law allows individual states to have stronger pollution controls, but states are not allowed to have weaker pollution controls than those set for the whole country. EPA calls these pollutants "criteria air pollutants" because the agency has regulated them by first developing health-based criteria (science-based guidelines) as the basis for setting permissible levels. One set of limits (primary standard) protects health; another set of limits (secondary standard) is intended to prevent environmental and property damage. A geographic area that meets or does better than the primary standard is called an attainment area; areas that don't meet the primary standard are called nonattainment areas. For current information concerning the attainment status of these NAA please visit http://www.epa.gov/air/oaqps/greenbk/mappm25_2006.html. This data set is intended to help provide the public with information to determine whether or not air quality within a given area is healthy. Once designations take effect, they also become an important component of state, tribal and local governments' efforts to control fine particulates. completed Rich Damberg EPA, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) 919-541-5592 Air Quality Policy Division, State and Local Programs Group 109 TW Alexander Dr., C539-01 Research Triangle Park NC 27711 damberg.rich@epa.gov Please see additional information located at the following URL for requesting this data: http://www.epa.gov/pmdesignations/2006standards/contact.htm pointOfContact asNeeded Air Monitoring Non-Attainment theme EPA GIS Keyword Thesaurus United States (US) (USA) conterminous United States (CONUS) Alaska Hawaii District of Columbia Washington DC American Samoa Puerto Rico Virgin Islands Alabama Arizona Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut Delaware Florida Georgia Idaho Illinois Indiana Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Mississippi Missouri Montana Nebraska Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Vermont Virginia Washington West Virginia Wisconsin Wyoming place none https://edg.epa.gov/EPA_Data_License.html otherRestrictions Use Constraints: Data are considered current to the date of the original source material.
