AQI: Air Quality Index
•Indicates whether pollutant levels in air may cause health concerns.
•Ranges from 0 (least concern) to 500 (greatest concern)

Air Quality Air Quality Index Protect Your Health
Good 0-50 No health impacts are expected when air quality is in this range.
Moderate 51-100 Unusually sensitive people should consider limiting prolonged outdoor exertion.
Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups
101-150 Active children and adults, and people with respiratory disease, such as asthma, should limit prolonged outdoor exertion.
Unhealthy 151-200Active children and adults, and people with respiratory disease, such as asthma, should limit prolonged outdoor exertion, everyone else, especially children should limit prolonged outdoor excertion.
Very Unhealthy (Alert) 201-300 Active children and adults, and people with respiratory disease, such as asthma, should limit prolonged outdoor exertion everyone else, especially children, should limit outdoor exertion.

Carbon MonoxideCarbon Monoxide
•colorless, odorless
•produced when carbon does not burn in fossil fuels
•present in car exhaust
•deprives body of O2 causing headaches, fatigue, and impaired vision
![Page 11: Air pollution1](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b2b9b1a28ab582c8b478d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Sulfur DioxideSulfur Dioxide
•produced when coal and fuel oil are burned
•present in power plant exhaust
•narrows the airway, causing wheezing and shortness of breath, especially in those with asthma
![Page 12: Air pollution1](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b2b9b1a28ab582c8b478d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Nitrogen DioxideNitrogen Dioxide
•reddish, brown gas
•produced when nitric oxide combines with oxygen in the atmosphere
•present in car exhaust and power plants
•affects lungs and causes wheezing; increases chance of respiratory infection
![Page 13: Air pollution1](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b2b9b1a28ab582c8b478d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Particulate MatterParticulate Matter
•particles of different sizes and structures that are released into the atmosphere
•present in many sources including fossil fuels, dust, smoke, fog, etc.
•can build up in respiratory system
•aggravates heart and lung disease; increases risk of respiratory infection
![Page 14: Air pollution1](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b2b9b1a28ab582c8b478d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Ground Level OzoneGround Level Ozone
•at upper level, ozone shields Earth from sun’s harmful UV rays
•at ground level, ozone is harmful pollutants
•formed from car, power and chemical plant exhaust
•irritate respiratory system and asthma; reduces lung function by inflaming and damaging lining of lungs

•Combination of gases with water vapor and dust
•Combination of words smoke and fog
•Forms when heat and sunlight react gases (photochemical smog)
•Occurs often with heavy traffic, high temperatures, and calm winds

•1st smog related deaths were in London in 1873; death toll 500 people; can you imagine how much worse the atmosphere is now?!
•Limits visibility
•Decreases UV radiation
•Yellow/black color over cities
•Causes respiratory problems and bronchial related deaths
