First time smoke school attendees: we strongly recommend reviewing Aeromet's EPA Method 9 lecture CD before attending the public smoke school in Chicago. Information about our lecture CD can be found here. It is also recommended that you attend the First Time Opacity Observer Orientation which starts at 7:30 A.M. at the Chicago public smoke school. The orientation is free with a paid field registration.
