The Branch was comprised of the Air Quality and Meteorology Section, the Atmospheric Research and Special Programs Section, the Emission Technology and Regulation Development Section, and the Phytotoxicology Section. A Program Co-ordination Section was added ca. 1989.
In 1994 the Branch was dismantled and its functions were split between the newly formed Environmental Monitoring and Reporting Branch and the Science and Technology Branch.
