Air Quality Index Reports
The AQI reports on five major air pollutants: ozone, particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide. An AQI value is given for each monitoring site and pollutant. The overall AQI for a site is the highest index value of any of the pollutants. As levels of any or all of these air pollutants rise beyond health standards, precautionary health warnings are triggered.
