    History

    The Air Pollution Control Service was established within the newly formed Environmental Health Services Branch of the Department of Health in 1966. Prior to this time, responsibility for air pollution had rested with a section, organized in 1957, of the Division of Industrial Hygiene of the Department of Health.

    In August 1969 the Air Pollution Control Service was transferred to the Department of Energy and Resource Management and was renamed the Air Management Branch.
