by this color and
Value: |
|
0 to 50 |
"Good"
|
The AQI value
for your community is
between 0 and 50. Air
quality is considered
satisfactory, and air
pollution poses little or no
risk. |
|
51 to 100 |
"Moderate"
|
The AQI
for your community is
between 51 and 100. Air
quality is acceptable;
however, for some pollutants
there may be a moderate
health concern for a very
small number of people. For
example, people who are
unusually sensitive to ozone
may experience respiratory
symptoms. |
|
101 to 150 |
"Unhealthy for Sensitive
Groups" |
When AQI values
are between 101 and 150,
members of sensitive groups
may experience health
effects. This means they are
likely to be affected at
lower levels than the
general public. For example,
people with lung disease are
at greater risk from
exposure to ozone, while
people with either lung
disease or heart disease are
at greater risk from
exposure to particle
pollution. The general
public is not likely to be
affected when the AQI is in
this range. |
|
151 to 200 |
"Unhealthy" |
Everyone
may begin to experience
health effects when AQI
values are between 151 and
200. Members of sensitive
groups may experience more
serious health effects.
|
|
201 to 200 |
"Very Unhealthy" |
AQI
values between 201 and 300
trigger a health alert,
meaning everyone may
experience more serious
health effects. |
|
301 to 500 |
"Hazardous"
|
AQI
values over 300 trigger
health warnings of emergency
conditions. The entire
population is more likely to
be affected. |
