AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to monitor toxic air pollutants at the property line (fenceline) of at least 100 high-priority industrial facilities for at least 6 years and post the results online. It would require EPA to write rules making certain industrial facilities run fenceline and continuous emissions monitoring, set pollution levels that trigger corrective action, and report results to the public. It would add 80 multipollutant monitoring stations and at least 100 additional standard air monitors, with many placed in communities with higher rates of illness or poverty. It would also require EPA to deploy at least 1,000 low-cost community air sensors, use satellite data in air quality determinations, and authorize funding for these programs.
