1) Stack Testing Resources Since August 2000

ActiveSET.org is proud to be entering its fifth year as the Internet's largest reference site for source emissions testing, services and products. During our first four years, ActiveSET.org launched new interactive sections, such as the Classified Ads service, the "SET Wire!" bulletin board system and the RFP Service. The new Support Center with FAQs, Priority Service and Visitor Support was installed in early 2004. The hard work and dedication required to maintain and expand ActiveSET.org was recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency with the prestigious "Clean Air Excellence Award" in 2003.

Today, buyers and decision-makers from around the world rely upon ActiveSET.org 24/7 to find, research and purchase air pollution services and products. This "win-win" tool matches clients with service providers through free, unlimited access to our directories so everyone benefits from the resources provided by ActiveSET.org. If your business is not currently listed on ActiveSET.org, we invite you to become a part of the largest repository of contacts for the source emission testing industry.

The future promises even more enhancements and tools to ensure that ActiveSET.org remains the best online utility for the stack testing industry. Among the additions scheduled for implementation by the end of the year are a complete site overhaul, improved navigation bars, Ads By Google and superior placements for companies that have purchased a listing.
