Albuquerque Santa Fe, NM, November 4, 2026 — Bernalillo County has allocated $129,678 over three years to support the Air We Share Project, a community-driven initiative focused on environmental monitoring. This partnership aims to establish a detailed network of air quality monitors within specific areas of Albuquerque.
The initiative will concentrate its efforts on the South Valley and Mountain View neighborhoods. The primary goal is to deploy hyperlocal air quality monitors that will collect and subsequently share environmental data. This data is intended to provide a granular understanding of air quality conditions in these communities.
The Air We Share Project is described as a community-led effort. The funding commitment from Bernalillo County is designated for a three-year period. The specific operational details, such as the exact number of monitors to be deployed, the timeline for deployment, and the entities responsible for the day-to-day management of the network beyond the initial partnership, were not detailed in the information provided.
The establishment of this monitoring network is expected to contribute to a better understanding of local air quality, enabling residents and local authorities to access and utilize environmental data. Further details regarding the project’s specific objectives, the types of pollutants the monitors will detect, and how the collected data will be disseminated to the public are anticipated as the project progresses.
