EPA communicates air quality information in the ambient environment through the Air Quality Index (AQI). This video introduces the AQI and its relationship to the National Ambient Air Quality Standards, or NAAQS, including the extensive process EPA goes through to examine health literature and set protective standards. It also describes how short term sensor data may be used to modify behavior and that AirNow should be consulted if an individual is concerned about their health. This is the second of three sensor data interpretation educational videos.
