Air at Pima County DEQ

The Pima County Department of Environmental Quality (PDEQ) monitors air quality to ensure that the county meets and maintains national air quality health standards. PDEQ also provides public outreach and education regarding air quality issues. Real-time air quality data and the Air Quality Index (AQI) is available to provide sensitive populations with information to protect their health.

Our goal is to improve air quality by identifying air pollution problems, conducting inspections and reviewing permit applications to assure compliance with existing air pollution regulations.
