What is Smoke School?
Smoke school is the process of training someone to visually measure the opacity (density) of smoke or other visible emissions. Why would you want to look at smoke? Facilities that produce visible emissions (smoke, dust, etc.) are required to monitor the opacity of their emissions to ensure they do not exceed an opacity limit. If the limit is exceeded, the facility may be subject to substantial fines.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed a test method to visually measure opacity. This method is called EPA Method 9. Smoke school trains and certifies you in accordance with EPA Method 9. Smoke school is composed of two parts; the lecture course and field testing. The lecture is recommended every 3 years and the field test is required every 6 months.
