Air Quality
Air Quality
- Air Monitoring
- Air Modeling
- TCEQ staff use computer models to simulate the meteorological conditions and chemical reactions that contribute to the formation of air pollutants and to predict how air quality in a region will be affected by economic and population growth, and by reducing pollution emissions.
- SIP
- The Texas State Implementation Plan (SIP) is the state’s comprehensive plan to clean the air and meet federal air quality standards.
- TERP
- Area Source
- Point Source Emissions Inventory
- Information on emissions from large industrial sources.
- Emissions Banking and Trading
- Mobile Source
- Reducing emissions from vehicles, construction equipment, boats, lawn equipment and various non-stationary sources of air pollution.
- Tax Relief for Pollution Control Property
- A program to ensure that capital investments undertaken to comply with environmental regulations do not result in an increase in property taxes.
- Air Quality Successes
- The TCEQ diligently incorporates the latest scientific research, methods, and models and cutting-edge technology to strategically investigate, evaluate, and improve air quality.
- Barnett Shale Geological Area
- Barnett Shale is a hydrocarbon-producing geological formation consisting of sedimentary rocks and stretching from the city of Dallas west and south, covering 5,000 square miles and 21 counties. Since 2002, gas production activity in the area has experienced significant growth and the TCEQ has been improving emissions data from oil and gas production and is conducting in-depth measurements to fully evaluate potential health effects.
- Air Research
- Understanding the sources of air pollution and how to improve air quality.
- Air Quality Rules: Stationary Sources
- Rule projects for stationary sources being considered for the State Implementation Plan.
- Air Quality Track
- Presentations on this topic to be given at the Environmental Trade Fair and Conference, May 1-2, 2012.
