Air Quality

In America people live in areas where air pollution causes serious health issues.  Local air quality can affect our daily lives.  Like the weather, the quality of the air can change from day to day.  The Environmental Protection Agency, EPA, developed the Air Quality Index to make information available about health effects of the most common air pollutants, and how to avoid and/or reduce those effects. Pollen, smoke and other pollutants are monitored across America on a daily basis.
