If you've come across airgeorgia.org while looking for Georgia's air quality data, you might assume it's an official government site. The page headings and content strongly suggest it's part of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources' Air Protection Branch. But the domain itself tells a different story: it's airgeorgia.org, not a .gov address. That's the first thing to double-check when evaluating any government-related site.
The domain has been around since 2017, which is a point in its favor, and it shows up clean on security blacklists. But for a site that claims to be a state program, missing a privacy policy and terms of service is unusual. Actual government sites almost always have those pages, especially if they collect location data or allow contact forms.
So is airgeorgia.org a scam? Not necessarily — it could be an outdated or unofficial mirror. But it's not the real Georgia.gov air monitoring site. If you're looking for official air quality information, go directly to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division's website on a .gov domain. Until then, treat airgeorgia.org with caution and don't enter any personal information there.
