Ambient air monitoring throughout the state of
Arkansas speaks to the effectiveness of the ADEQ's Air Division program -- Arkansas is only one of a handful
of states in the country that currently and consistently meets all federal air quality standards for criteria
pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, particulates, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons and lead.
The Air Division also has received all delegable air programs, including the Title V program
for major sources of pollutants, from Region 6 of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. These programs
include the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAPS), Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and the State Implementation Plan (SIP).
By working closely with businesses and industries, the Air Division issues permits that help
maintain and improve the air quality for all citizens in the state. The Air Division has three branches,
Planning and Air Quality Analysis,
Permits, and
Compliance Monitoring. Staff in these branches are available to answer questions and help with any technical problems
that arise.
The ADEQ Air Division is located at 5301 Northshore
Drive, North Little Rock. Click the "Where We Are" menu button to the left for
