What Does NEM Stand For?
NEM stands for NAAQS Exposure Model
The NAAQS Exposure Model (NEM) is a comprehensive analytical framework designed to assess and predict human exposure to air pollutants regulated under the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). By integrating environmental data, population demographics, and exposure pathways, NEM facilitates the evaluation of compliance with air quality standards and informs public health protection strategies. This model supports regulatory decisions and helps identify vulnerable populations, contributing to effective air quality management and policy development.
