PAZA is a nonprofit,
multi-stakeholder organization that conducts ambient air quality monitoring in northwestern Alberta. We monitor air quality in the Peace region.
PAZA's ambient air monitoring program was implemented to provide scientifically credible air quality data to assess short and long term air quality on a regional scale. We share
our results with the public, industry and government.
PAZA monitors a whole bunch of things, from sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide, to ozone, hydrogen sulphide and fine particulate matter.
PAZA operates a network of six continuous monitoring stations and 49 passive monitoring stations that collectively monitor air quality across the Peace region.
The PAZA boundary encompasses approximately 38,000-square-kilometers, with a population of approximately 100,000 people living and working in the region.
