Our goal is to ensure clean air, for both public health and the environment.
NJDEP manages air quality with ambient air monitoring, inventories of sources, emission reduction plans, rules, permits, air quality modeling and risk assessment, vehicle inspections and voluntary programs to modernize fleets and promote electric vehicles.
Welcome to Community Corner’s “What’s in My Community” mapping application
Community Corner you will find every facility with an air permit registered with the Division of Air Quality at the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. First opened only Major sources are shown at full extent. Because of the large number of minor sources, they will only show up after zooming in. Minor sources are represented by four symbols. Schools, Hospitals and Emergency services including Police and Fire departments. Many of these operations have minor source permits. “Other minor sources” represents the remainder of minor sources. Below you’ll find links to the user guide, glossary of terms and data limitations.

Volkswagen Mitigation Trust
In September and November 2015, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) alleged that Volkswagen had secretly installed defeat devices – software designed to cheat emissions test and deceive federal and state regulators – in certain Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche-branded turbocharged direct injection diesel vehicles.

In New Jersey, transportation is the number one source of greenhouse gas pollution. Emissions from cars and light-trucks account for about 30% of the total hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen emission in the air that contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone or “smog” during the summer months. You can help slow climate change and reduce air pollution. When you purchase a new vehicle, you can make a choice that improves our air quality and global climate.
Governor Phil Murphy has formally proclaimed September 8-16 as Drive Electric Week in New Jersey, noting the strong link between vehicle emissions and emissions that contribute to climate change.
