More about AirNow.gov
AirNow.gov is a partnership of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Park Service, NASA, Centers for Disease Control, and tribal, state, and local air quality agencies that track and report air quality.
AirNow.gov uses the official U.S. Air Quality Index (AQI), a color-coded index designed to communicate whether air quality is healthy or unhealthy for you. When you know the AQI in your area, you can take steps to protect your health.
The real-time information on AirNow.gov is searchable by ZIP code, County, or larger geographic area within an Ozone Quality Index.
Cuyahoga County’s Ozone levels rose to Orange alert status on 14 separate occasions last year, in addition to three alerts for particle pollution, leading to an ALA grade of “F” and “C” respectively.
