2019 PQAO Training
CARB, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and local air monitoring organizations recognize that continuing education and training are critical components to maintaining continuity, effectiveness, and efficiency within air monitoring programs. This comprehensive air monitoring training program is designed to expand the level of knowledge throughout all PQAOs in California and is intended for both new and previous attendees. The 2.5 day training included key material from past PQAO Trainings, as well as new topics. To request a copy of a presentation, please contact us.
