01/13/04 -DRAFT of the Air
Toxics Monitoring Strategy. The Air Toxics Monitoring Strategy
serves two principal purposes. First, it provides a relatively
comprehensive summary to date of the national air toxics monitoring
program that started in 1998 and describes some of the major findings that currently
shape program evolution as well as insight into a spectrum of
technical and logistical issues underlying program implementation.
Second, the report comments on the expected short and long-term products providing
direction for agencies participating in the national program. This report
should be viewed as a current status of the air toxics monitoring program,
understanding that the program evolution is based more upon historical
and forthcoming findings, than a prescriptive a priori vision.
Accordingly, this is a living document that will adjust over time,
continually reflecting status and direction of the national air toxics
monitoring program. Therefore, this current version posted is expected
to be final by summer of 2004; however, there will be updates in future years.
