The Air Pollution Prevention and Control Division (APPCD) within the National Risk Management
Research Laboratory, conducts research, develops and demonstrates air pollution prevention and
control technologies for key industries, electric power plants, incinerators, indoor
environments and sources of greenhouse gases. Research includes characterization of major
sources of air pollution and verification of the performance of innovative technologies. APPCD
maintains a close working relationship with trade and professional organizations, industry, and
academia to design and develop innovative pollution management methodologies. APPCD is also
involved in international clean technology development projects. The Division concentrates its
efforts in six main program areas: Air Toxics, Fine Particles, Indoor Air Quality, Ozone, and
Global Climate Change. The research, conducted and managed by engineers, scientists, and
administrative professionals, is accomplished through a variety of mechanisms including: in-house
research, cooperative agreements with academia and non-profit organizations; interagency
agreements with other federal entities; and contracts with environmental consultants and
for-profit companies.
There are six branches within APPCD:
