Welcome to the Bureau of Air Quality's Online Air Monitoring Data Service
The Bureau of Air Quality operates and maintains a variety of ambient
air monitoring equipment around the state. Some of these instruments
operate on a continuous basis and provide hourly averages of pollutants
or meteorological data used in the evaluation of air quality. Data may also be collected over a twenty-four hour
period for pollutants such as particulates or it may be collected as a composite sample over
an entire week. Examples of the latter can be found in the atmospheric and mercury
deposition monitoring programs. The number of monitoring sites and the
pollutants that are monitored may vary from year to year depending on
the expected concentrations of the pollutants, the origin of the
pollutants and new programs based on changes in existing regulations or
the establishment of new regulations.
