SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds that— 
(1) air pollution inflicts disproportionate harm 
on Black people, Indigenous people, and people of 
color; 
(2) air quality can vary up to 800 percent from 
block to block within a single neighborhood; 
(3) it is possible to identify and attribute 
sources of pollution based on fingerprint analysis of 
multiple pollutants; 
(4) existing methods that are prescribed for 
basin-wide air quality monitoring— 
(A) are cost-prohibitive for monitoring 
community-scale air quality; and 
(B) do not, as of the date of enactment of 
this Act, measure the intrinsic variability of 
persistently poor air quality in environmental 
justice communities at the neighborhood block 
level; and 
(5) the Environmental Protection Agency has 
existing authority under the Clean Air Act to ad-
dress air pollutants, including greenhouse gases.
