Public Health Air Quality Act of 2025

This bill would require the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to set up fenceline air monitoring for hazardous air pollutants at a list of at least 100 high-priority industrial facilities, keep that monitoring running for at least 6 years, and post the results online. It would require EPA to write rules within 2 years requiring certain industrial source categories to monitor their emissions, set corrective action levels at the fenceline, and take corrective action when those levels are exceeded. The bill would add 80 NCore multipollutant monitoring stations and at least 100 additional federal reference or equivalent air monitors, and would direct EPA to write rules for using satellite data to judge whether areas meet air quality standards. It would also require EPA to deploy at least 1,000 low-cost community air quality sensor systems. It authorizes $146 million, $50 million, and $75 million for different sections.
