The state Department of Environmental Quality’s Division of Air Quality and the North Carolina State Climate Office developed a new online air quality tool that features statewide weather and air quality observations about past, current and forecasted air quality events.
The tool, the Ambient Information Reporter, or AIR, features real-time and historical air quality and meteorological observations, including satellite-detected fires and smoke, the latest air quality forecast, along with the ability to view graphs and charts of both hourly and daily data trends.

The tool was designed by meteorological and air quality professionals, along with public feedback from targeted groups.
The AIR tool is available via mobile device for users to access quickly and easily, with the same dataset and functionality as the website version.
