About CAPCOG's Air Quality Program

CAPCOG's Air Quality Program provides technical assistance and information to area businesses, government entities and community groups on regional air quality issues, with particular emphasis on pollution related to ground-level ozone. Enabled through a grant from the TCEQ, program efforts are directed at gaining a better understanding of the sources and extent of regional air quality problems by operating air monitoring stations, estimating and modeling emissions and evaluating emission reduction measures to develop effective strategies for the area.

The Air Quality Program also provides support for the Central Texas Clean Air Coalition (CAC) and the CAC Advisory Committee.
