Air Quality Regulation Research Committee

This comprehensive research study is currently in progress. Despite Portland's reputation as a clean air leader, major questions have been raised in recent years about the region's air quality, especially as it relates to airborne carcinogens. This study committee is charged with: (1) evaluating such claims and (2) identifying ways that environmental and health agencies, industry, transportation and public interest groups can work together to improve the air quality regulatory process.
