The AQI is an index for reporting daily air quality. It tells you how clean or unhealthy your air is, and what associated health effects might be a concern. The AQI focuses on health effects you may experience within a few hours or days after breathing unhealthy air. The following chart provides information regarding the AQI determinations:
| Category | AQI Value | What This Means |
|---|---|---|
| Good | 0-50 | Air quality is considered satisfactory, and air pollution poses little or no risk. |
| Moderate | 51-100 | Air quality is acceptable; however, for some pollutants there may be a moderate health concern for a very small number of people who are unusually sensitive to air pollution. |
| Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups | 101-150 | Members of sensitive groups may experience health effects. The general public is not likely to be affected. |
| Unhealthy | 151-200 | Everyone may begin to experience health effects; members of sensitive groups may experience more serious health effects. |
| Very Unhealthy | 201-300 | Health warnings of emergency conditions. The entire population is more likely to be affected. |
| Hazardous | 301-500 | Health alert: everyone may experience more serious health effects. |
