Air Quality Division

Air Quality Division Branches
 
The Monitoring and Assessment Branch (MAB) is a collection of scientists, technicians and specialists who measure pollutants in the District's ambient air on a regular basis.
 
The Permitting & Enforcement Branch (PEB) is composed of permit writers and inspectors who work with air contaminant emitting facilities in the District to ensure consistent and continuous compliance with existing air quality laws and regulations.
 
Information from MAB and PEB is synthesized during the air quality planning process to identify and implement strategies for air quality improvement.
 
Indoor Air Quality and Mold

The District also addresses mold, radon, asbestos and other indoor air quality problems to protect the health of people in commercial and residential buildings, schools, and healthcare facilities.
