Clean air is essential to every breathing moment. The air quality services of the division are designed around three programs: managing non-point and mobile sources of air pollution; managing stationary out-of-stack discharges of air pollution through a permit and compliance program; and field air monitoring to measure progress and understand problems.

Keep It In The Green!

In the green, according to the Air Quality Index.
We breathe about 35 gallons of air each day, that's over 20,000 breaths. For many days of the year we are breathing air at home, work or play that is filled with tiny fine particles. Some are toxic to our health.

We can't be sure we are getting clean healthy air into our lungs. Invisible pollutants fill the air each day. Our weather plays a major role in determining whether those fine particles settle and stagnant in our neighborhoods or disperse through wind and rain.

The major causes of air pollution in Alaska come from diesel and gas powered vehicles, diesel powered generators, wood stoves, wood burning fireplaces, outdoor fires (e.g. wildfires, forest fires), and large particulates (e.g. dust, road sand, glacial silt, etc.).
