WHERE TO GO FOR
AIR QUALITY INFO |
UNDERSTANDING THE
AIR QUALITY INDEX |
Exposure to high levels of air pollution can aggravate heart disease, asthma and other respiratory diseases which is why knowing Camden's air quality is so important. Enviroflash (a partnership between the USEPA and NJDEP) is a program that sends out alerts to your mobile device or email which notify you on days when poor air quality is forecast to occur so you can take precautions to protect yourself and your family.
