Frequently Asked Questions

The air quality index (AQI) is a standardized method administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that indicates the quality of the air in a specific location. This ranges from 0-500 that is signified by color and grouped by type of air quality (good, moderate, unhealthy for sensitive groups, unhealthy, very unhealthy, and hazardous). This is factored in on a range of pollutants such as ground-level ozone, particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and carbon monoxide. Knowing the air quality index helps to ensure that you understand more about the air you breathe in your area.

Air pollution is caused by a host of issues, largely depending on where you live. This can include man-made sources and natural sources such as agriculture, construction, industrial facilities, forest fires, fossil fuels, combustion from cars, buses, and trains, and waste management facilities, to name a few.

Air quality is measured everyday from data banks that process information from government resources, the public, and satellite-derived air quality monitors. Regulated by the Clean Air Act, this data calculates the AQI for five major air pollutants (ground-level ozone, particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and carbon monoxide).

Since air quality can fluctuate, it is important to know what to do if the quality is unhealthy. During this time, it is crucial to remain indoors. If you have to be outdoors, you should wear a mask and not participate in activities that will exhaust you and your lungs.

During times when quality is unhealthy, it is important to stay indoors. However, if you have to be outside you should monitor how long you are exposed. In general, this should be limited to one-two hours with breaks. Small children should have limited exposure and everyone should wear masks if the quality is unhealthy.
