Air Quality Technical Workshops
In its ongoing effort to improve the understanding of air quality science, the TCEQ will continue hosting special science and technical workshops. Most TCEQ technical workshops on air quality are hosted through the agency’s air quality advisory committees. Information on these workshops is available on each committee’s Web page:
- Dallas–Fort Worth Photochemical Modeling Technical Committee
- Southeast Texas Photochemical Modeling Technical Committee
The workshops listed below were hosted by the TCEQ outside the advisory committee structure. The agendas, reports, and presentations are in PDF.
