About us

About Us The Bureau of Pollution Control and Prevention (BPCP) is a bureau within the Environmental Health Division (EHD) of the Houston Department of Health and Human Services (HDHHS) . The bureau was previously the Bureau of Air Quality Control (BAQC), which underwent organizational changes that integrated several environmental programs from the former Bureau of Water Resources Protection. These changes took effect on July 1, 2010. An Air Pollution Control Program was begun in 1967 to help abate air pollution in Houston, and a Water Pollution Control program was begun in 1973.
