Tillamook - Oregon Department of Forestry (TDF) is an air monitoring station located at 5003 3rd Street in Tillamook, Oregon, United States. Operated under the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, this station contributes to the state's ambient air quality monitoring network, which supports compliance with the Clean Air Act and the US EPA's Air Quality System (AQS). The station is situated in a coastal region of Oregon, where air quality monitoring is important for assessing impacts from forestry activities, agricultural operations, and marine influences. While specific parameters measured are not detailed, typical air monitoring stations in Oregon track criteria pollutants such as ozone, particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide, as well as meteorological data. As part of the Oregon DEQ network, this station provides data used for public health advisories, regulatory compliance, and research. Its location in Tillamook County supports regional air quality management and helps protect the health of local communities and ecosystems.

Tillamook County features a mix of coastal forests, agricultural lands, and small communities. Air quality monitoring in this region is critical for tracking emissions from forestry operations, including prescribed burns and wildfire smoke, as well as agricultural activities and marine aerosols. The station's data contributes to understanding local and regional air pollution patterns, supporting the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality's efforts to maintain compliance with National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).
