The Air Quality Index
The Air Quality Index (AQI)* is an index for reporting daily air quality. It tells you how clean or polluted
your outdoor air is, and what associated health effects might be
a concern for you. The AQI focuses on health effects you may experience
within a few hours or days after breathing polluted air. EPA calculates
the AQI for five major air pollutants regulated by the Clean Air
Act: ground-level ozone, particle pollution (also known as particulate
matter), carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide.
For each of these pollutants, EPA has established national air quality
standards to protect public health. For Information regarding indoor
air quality please visit the Indoor* Web site.
