including particulate matter (PM) such as PM2.5 and PM10. (The subscript refers to the diameter of the particle in microns.)
| Good | Moderate | Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups | Unhealthy | Very Unhealthy | Hazardous |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0-50 | 51-100 | 101-150 | 151-200 | 201-300 | 301-500 |
The US EPA AQI for PM is calculated from a 24-hour average: this is based on hourly averages of PM concentrations and is updated daily.

The Air Quality Index (AQI) is a standardized way to report air quality.
It converts complex air quality data into numbers and colors
that help people understand when to take action to protect their health.
The AQI focuses on health effects that can happen within a few
hours or days after breathing polluted air.
