IHMM launches expanded training in collaboration with EPA

The collaboration introduces 34 new EPA AirKnowledge courses available to all IHMM certificants through the IHMM Foundation Professional Development platform.

• air toxics risk assessment framework;
• applying technical factors for area designations;
• components of attainment of State Implementation Plans and Tribal Implementation Plans;
• controlling air pollution;
• core principles of EPA air permitting programs;
• EPA air pollution control cost manual;
• fundamental of emissions inventories;
• health and environmental effects of air pollutants;
• history of the Clean Air Act and progress in the time since;
• introductions to air toxics, Title V permitting, National Ambient Air Quality Standards/implementation and ambient air monitoring for criteria pollutants;
• network design and site selection for monitoring particulate matter in ambient air;
• quality assurance for air pollution measurement; and
• setting enforceable potential to emit limits in new source review permits.

“This expansion is another powerful step in IHMM’s mission to open doors to more high-quality learning opportunities for certificants worldwide,” the IHMM says. “Our continued partnership with EPA—and other leading organizations—ensures that you have access to the best resources to keep you at the forefront of your profession.”
