At the Columbus Health Department, we are concerned about the quality of air we breathe and the effect it may have on the health of the people of Central Ohio.  Air Quality is a regional issue. We're working with other agency partners to monitor air pollutants and understand their effects, especially for people with breathing problems and respiratory disease.  In Central Ohio, ozone and particle pollution are problems of special concern.
