What is the Air Quality Zone?
The Air Quality Zone contains the most populated areas of Klamath County. A buildup of pollution from automobiles, woodstoves, and industry more often occurs in the Air Quality Zone. The goal of the Air Quality Ordinance is to protect the health of those in sensitive groups such as children, elderly and those with poor health conditions. Air Quality is regulated by the EPA with help from the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Restrictions and penalties are assessed to achieve federal and state goals.
