CLEAN AIR RESOURCE CENTERS
across Western Montana
when sometimes you just need to be inside...
Clean Air Resource Centers are being set up with support from the MT Dept. of Health & Human Services (DPHHS) and the EPA. We set up centers in Missoula and Ravalli Counties in 2025, and Flathead, Lake and Lincoln Counties are joining in 2026.
Each offers respite and a place to find resources to understand the risks from smoke and how to improve the indoor air quality of your home or business. Each building has a Purple Air sensor (image R) that measures the current indoor air quality and can be viewed on map.purpleair.com. NOTE: a circle with a dark outline is an INDOOR sensor.
