What is AQI?
•The U.S. Air Quality Index (AQI) is a tool for communicating about outdoor air quality and health. The AQI includes six color-coded categories, each corresponding to a range of index values.
•The higher the AQI value, the greater the level of air pollution and the greater the health concern. For example, an AQI value of 50 or below represents good air quality, while an AQI value over 300 represents hazardous air quality.
•The color makes it easy for people to quickly determine whether air quality is reaching unhealthy levels in their communities.
