Classroom Course Materials

AirKnowledge provides instructor-led training materials that can be used by learners for reference purposes, or by instructors for instructional purposes (for example, air agencies may have subject matter experts who could use the materials to provide instruction). Click on any course of interest to access a course description and course materials.

Please note that while the majority of AirKnowledge classroom courses are intended for in-person settings, a few courses were designed for virtual delivery. While the course materials are generally the same for in-person and virtual instruction, there may be differences in some materials such as course agendas and class activities.

Instructor aids, such as polling questions, exam materials, and instructor guides are available upon request to airknowledge@epa.gov.

This 1-day course serves as a building block to provide learners with foundational knowledge for why and how hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from stationary sources are regulated before taking courses on other air toxics or industry-specific topics, such as permitting, control technologies, inspections, or enforcement. This course covers the listing of HAPs, listing of HAPs sources, components of the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs), Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) and Generally Available Control Technology (GACT) standard setting, and NESHAP residual risk review and technology review.
