Air Pullution Program

Brian S. Moss, Agency Administrator, Air Pollution Control Officer

The Department's role in the air pollution program is primarily one of general assistance to the County Air Pollution Control Officer (APCO) and his deputy. Staff supports the APCO by assisting in disseminating burn day information. Staff also respond to air pollution related complaints and concerns as necessary. Such complaints may involve indoor as well as outdoor air quality issues. Typical outdoor air quality issues may include, but are not limited to, burning of illegal materials or destruction of structures containing asbestos, lead or other hazardous wastes that may readily be introduced into the air.
