North Dakota has among the cleanest overall air quality in the nation, thanks to its low population density and constant prairie winds. The Bakken Formation oil boom in western ND has introduced localized flaring concerns but hasn't significantly affected statewide air quality.
ND DEQ Air Quality Division manages standards. Oil and gas emission regulations focus on flaring reduction.
No nonattainment areas. North Dakota's low population and persistent wind maintain excellent air quality statewide.
