The Division of Air Quality handles citizen complaints involving dust, fallout, odor problems and open burning. In many instances, the ability to satisfactorily handle a citizen's concern regarding an air pollution issue is based upon immediate notification that a problem is being experienced and the ability to rapidly respond to the complaint. Quite often, notification is too late to allow an inspector to observe and document the alleged violation or our inspectors are not immediately available because they are all ready involved in another compliance- and/or enforcement-related issue.
