CHECKING THE AIR QUALITY INDEX IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD

WHAT IS THE AIR QUALITY INDEX? 

Air quality index provides information on the air quality in your neighborhood. The air quality index (aqi) calculates five major Pollutants: 
  1. Ozone 
  2. Particle Pollution
  3. Carbon monoxide
  4. Nitrogen dioxide 
  5. Sulfur Dioxide


HOW DOES THE AQI WORK? 
Air Pollution is measured daily and ranked from 0 for clean air and 500 for air pollution that poses a danger to the public. 

WHY IS THE AQI IMPORTANT? 
The AQI
 is important because it provides daily information to warn the public when the air quality is dangerous. The AQI can help people suffering from health problems relating to their respiratory system.
