Air Quality Modeling Guidance

Air quality modeling results, together with air quality data collected at DEQ monitors, are used in making regional air quality assessments, and for analyzing air quality impacts in the permitting of industrial sources. Most of the models employed in these analyses are approved by EPA, and their use typically follows Federal and State requirements, depending on the specific application. To ensure that the models are used correctly, meet modeling requirements, and are applied consistently, DEQ provides guidance to consultants and others engaged in air quality analyses.
