The Division for Air Quality has operated an air quality monitoring network in the commonwealth since July 1967. The Louisville Metro Air Pollution Control District, a local agency, has maintained a subnetwork in its area of jurisdiction since Jan. 1956. Since that time the networks have been expanded in accordance with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's regulations to reflect the current overall network of 44 stations, which monitor the major pollutants including those for which national ambient air quality standards have been issued. Each year the division issues the Kentucky Ambient Air Quality Annual Report which contains specifics on site locations and a summary of data collected at these sites.
