What is AQI?

The Air Quality Index (AQI) is used for reporting daily air quality. It tells you how clean or polluted your air is, and what associated health effects might be a concern for you. The AQI focuses on health effects you may experience within a few hours or days after breathing polluted air. Ground-level ozone and airborne particles are the two pollutants that pose the greatest threat to human health. Source for further information: https://www.weather.gov/safety/airquality-aqindex

How do we obtain the forecast?
