Report on Air Quality Trends in the District of Columbia

Metadata Updated: February 4, 2025

The District of Columbia has greatly improved its air quality over the recent decades.In the 1960s, the District established one of the nation's first ambient air monitoring stations. Today, the District’s ambient air monitoring network consists of six stations: McMillan Reservoir, River Terrace, Takoma Recreation Center, King Greenleaf Recreation Center, the Anacostia Freeway Near-road Monitor, and Bald Eagle Recreation Center. Hains Point was temporarily closed in 2016 for building renovations and permanently in 2017 due to site inaccessibility. The Verizon Center monitor was shut down at the end of December 2016. King Greenleaf Recreation Center officially became part of the ambient air monitoring network in January 2018. In March 2024, DOEE added its sixth station at Bald Eagle Recreation Center, located in an overburdened environmental justice (EJ) community in Ward 8. This EJ station is funded by the federal American Rescue Plan (ARP) Direct Award Air Monitoring grant.
