AirNow is your one-stop source for air quality data. The website and app highlights air quality in your local area first, while still providing air quality information at state and national views. AirNow’s interactive map even lets you zoom out to get the big picture or drill down to see data for a single air quality monitor. AirNow’s Fire and Smoke map, a collaborative project with the US Forest Service, uses a variety of products including low-cost sensors to provide detailed, up-to-date information that can be critical to users experiencing smoke events.

The air quality trends summaries are intended to reflect actual air quality and therefore include concentrations that may have been impacted by episodic events like wildfires and dust storms.

Resource

AirCompare maps provide information for counties that monitored outdoor air quality in the last five years and tailor that information for groups more likely to be affected by different levels of pollution.

The Air Toxics Screening Assessment (AirToxScreen) is EPA's screening tool that provides communities with information about health risks from air toxics. AirToxScreen is part of EPA's new approach to air toxics that provides updated data and risk analyses on an annual basis, helping state, local and tribal air agencies, EPA, and the public more easily identify existing and emerging air toxics issues.
