Air Quality Affects Everyone & Everything
It’s important to know that air pollution isn’t just a threat to our health it also damages our environment. Toxic air pollutants and the chemicals that form acid rain and ground-level ozone can damage trees, crops, wildlife, lakes and other bodies of water. Air pollution also damages buildings, monuments, and statues; reduces how far you can see in national parks and cities; and it even interferes with aviation. With this in mind, the air quality partnership reaches out to every person, in every community to practice environmental stewardship and to promote air quality values. The more we know about community efforts to improve air quality, the easier it is for everyone to get involved and do their share.

What’s the Latest on Air Quality?

EPA has assigned a specific color to each AQI category to make it easier for people to understand quickly whether air pollution is reaching unhealthy levels in their communities. For example, the color orange means that conditions are "unhealthy for sensitive groups," while red means that conditions may be "unhealthy for everyone," and so on. Click HERE for a full explanation
