The Michigan Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides all persons (except persons incarcerated in correctional facilities) with access to public records of public bodies. Requests to inspect or receive public records from EGLE must be in writing and describe the requested records with enough detail to enable the department to identify and locate the requested records. Some records are exempt from disclosure under the FOIA or another statute and thus will not be provided. A fee may be charged to process your request. Please note that many records are available that do not require a formal FOIA request.

The 2025 Air Quality Awareness Week theme is “Stay Air Aware.” It is important to know the air quality around your home, school, or workplace, and the impact it can have your health and the environment. Knowing more about your air quality can help you protect yourself and your family when air quality is poor.
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s Air Quality Division (AQD) has been working to protect Michigan’s air for 60 years. The first Michigan air pollution control rules were put into action in 1965. Today, AQD staff go to work with Michigan residents in mind. Our work focuses on the regulation on industrial sources of air pollution and implementing the state and federal air quality rules and regulations.
The AQD staff is varied and includes inspectors, permit engineers, meteorologists, toxicologists, analysts, modelers, monitoring experts, and so much more. Folks in the AQD work together like pieces in an air quality puzzle to ensure EGLE’s mission to protect public health and the environment. We take our work seriously and hope sharing information on the 2025 Air Quality Awareness Week topics will help residents learn more about our work. We hope this will help residents stay “air aware,” not only this week, but all year round.
