ADEQ designs and manages a variety of air quality initiatives that improve Arizona’s air quality and protect public health and the environment. These initiatives are non-regulatory, but support existing state and federal regulations. Projects and programs often involve collaboration with partners from other air monitoring agencies, state/local governments, businesses and community organizations.

Interested in participating? Learn more about our initiatives and how you can get involved (individually, or with your business, school or community group) and help us achieve the health, economic and environmental benefits that come with improved air quality.
