Air Quality Index
The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has
provided a scale called the Air
Quality Index (AQI) for rating air quality. This scale is based on the
National Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS). The AQI is not routinely updated
on weekends and during holiday periods. On those days, please call the Air
Quality Index Hotline at (800) 249-1234 or (860) 424-4167 for the most current air quality
information.
