Monitoring air quality and weather patterns enables us to:

• Predict daily air quality conditions and significant events
• Describe and report air quality in our communities
• Issue burn bans on indoor wood heating and outdoor burning
• Help people use data to make clean air choices

Measuring the ambient air is done using a network of ten monitoring stations located throughout Spokane County. 

Data from the air monitoring network are available on the agency's website utilizing telemetry. This information is used to provide hourly updates to the Air Quality Index, reported on the "Current Air Quality" page.
