Description:
Abstract:
Ambient Air Quality Monitors are strategically located stations throughout the state of New Jersey and collect and analyze certain air pollutant data.
Purpose:
The ambient pollutant data is collected and analyzed to verify that the pollutants are in compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. The public is notified in those cases where pollutants exceed accepted levels according to the quality standards.

Ordering_Instructions:
All available NJDEP public GIS data can be downloaded for free. Some data shown in NJGeoWeb application may not yet be available for download due to various data or distribution issues. Please email gisnet@dep.nj.gov with any data distribution questions.
Custom_Order_Process:
The NJDEP may distribute GIS data in a variety of formats, such as the ESRI shapefile and/or various versions of the file geodatabase format. The data also may be available for viewing on various profiles of the NJ GeoWeb online mapping application.
Note: Some older NJDEP data may not contain .prj files due to distribution procedures at that time. If download does not contain a .prj, please download from:
https://www.nj.gov/dep/gis/njsp83.zip
Please rename .prj to the name of the downloadable filename. (for example: If Head of Tides filename is HOT.shp, please rename .prj to HOT.prj). This allows ESRI software to recognize the projection information.
