The North Carolina Division of Air Quality, DAQ, operates a network of air quality monitors across the state. Every year the monitoring network is reevaluated and adjusted to ensure it is providing adequate coverage. The proposed annual network plan is subject to a 30-day public review period prior to being submitted to EPA for approval.
The draft of the 2025-2026 Annual Monitoring Network Plan for North Carolina Air Quality is available for public review on the DAQ website.
Public comments will be accepted until 5 p.m. on June 23, 2025. Email comments to DAQ.AQ.ask.ambient@deq.nc.gov.
