How do I get information about air quality where I live?

Each day, you can find out what the air quality is like by checking the Air Quality Index (AQI) for where you live. The AQI tells you when high levels of air pollution are predicted for the day. You can use that information to plan for safe and healthy physical activity.

  • Good
  • Moderate
  • Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups*
  • Unhealthy
  • Very Unhealthy
  • Hazardous

* Sensitive groups include people who have asthma, heart disease, or COPD.

Checking the AQI is easy — anyone can do it!
