ASTM Air Quality Standards

International Air Quality Standards

ASTM air quality standards provide a consistent framework for measuring, evaluating, and managing air quality in outdoor, indoor, and workplace environments.

They address everything from sampling techniques and pollutant detection to sensor performance and residential investigations, giving professionals the tools to protect public health, meet regulatory requirements, and ensure environmental sustainability.

Together, ASTM air quality standards establish the scientific and technical foundation for managing one of society’s most pressing challenges.
