The Council of Governments (COG) provides daily reports and forecasts of regional air quality. The Washington region is a non-attainment area for ground-level ozone according for federal health standards. The ozone season generally runs between May and September.

Through COG, the Metropolitan Washington Air Quality Committee (MWAQC) and its subcommittees coordinate planning to reduce pollutant emissions. As a participant in Clean Air Partners, COG helps alert area employers when it declares Ozone Action Days. Consult the menu at left for more detailed program information.
