Air Quality Index
We track six criteria pollutants considered harmful to public health and the environment. Those include carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, particulate matter (10µm or less and 2.5µm or less), as well as sulfur dioxide.
The Air Quality Index (AQI) is the official index for air quality across the United States. The AQI ranges from 0 to 500. The higher the AQI value, the greater the level of air pollution and the greater the health concern.

UV Index
The UV Index is a forecast of the probable intensity of skin damaging ultraviolet radiation reaching the surface during the solar noon hour. The greater the UV Index, the greater the amount of skin damaging UV radiation. The threshold for skin damage is dependent on several factors, including skin tone. Note that clouds do not block most UV light.
