  2. Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2)

  3. Ozone (O3)

  4. Carbon Monoxide (CO)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is not typically regulated by Air Quality Management Plans as it is primarily a local pollutant and is not transported over long distances.

What is the term used to describe the process of identifying and prioritizing areas with poor air quality?

  1. Air Quality Assessment

  2. Air Quality Monitoring

  3. Air Quality Modeling

  4. Air Quality Planning


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Air Quality Assessment involves identifying and prioritizing areas with poor air quality based on monitoring data, modeling results, and other relevant information.

Which of the following is NOT a common strategy used in Air Quality Management Plans to reduce air pollution?

  1. Emission Standards

  2. Land Use Planning

  3. Transportation Demand Management

  4. Renewable Energy Promotion


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Renewable Energy Promotion is not typically a direct strategy used in Air Quality Management Plans, as it focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions rather than air pollutants.
