Arkansas Environment app for iPhone and iPad

This is the official mobile app for the Arkansas Department of Energy and Environment, Division of Environmental Quality (AR DEQ). AR DEQ’s mission is to protect, enhance, and restore the natural environment for the well-being of all Arkansans.

Reports from citizens are vital for effective enforcement of Arkansass environmental laws. You can report anything that you think is polluting air, land, or water. When in doubt, contact us. The Pollution Complaint feature on AR DEQs mobile app allows users anywhere in the state to report environmental hazards directly from some smart phones.

AR DEQ oversees efforts to properly handle and dispose of waste tires, preferably through recycling. Our Tire Disposal feature promotes proper disposal by locating authorized facilities and providing contact information for them.

AR DEQ wants to hear from you. Not only do we want to know of pollution complaints, but we would welcome your general feedback. The Contact Information allows Arkansans to contact us for information about our agency’s programs and send general feedback.

Air Quality Forecast

AR DEQ takes continuous readings at various locations throughout Arkansas. The numbers that are retrieved from the readings are then converted to the Air Quality Index (AQI) which allows pollutant levels to be compared to their health standards and to be assigned a rating - "good", "moderate", or "unhealthy."
