The implementation of any new ambient monitoring program requires resources dedicated to providing appropriate training in a number of diverse subjects; deploying a network to monitor a new pollutant with a new sampling method requires exceptional efforts. Given that the new monitoring network for PM2.5 involves the selection of new sites, the operation of new Federal Reference Method (FRM) monitors, the evaluation of other candidate monitoring methods, the analysis of existing demographics, and new metrics, a comprehensive and diverse training program is required. This program is designed to meet the needs of a range of environmental managers, data analysts, and technical staff, at the Federal, State, and Local government levels as well as selected representatives from the private sector.
