Air Quality IndexLevels of Health
Concern NumericalValue
Meaning
Good 0-50 Air quality is considered satisfactory, and air pollution poses little or no risk.
Moderate 51-100Air quality is acceptable; however, for some pollutants there may be a moderate health concern for a very small number of people who are unusually sensitive to air pollution.
Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups
101-150Members of sensitive groups may experience health effects. The general public is not likely to be affected.
Unhealthy 151-200Everyone may begin to experience health effects; members of sensitive groups may experience more serious health effects.
Very Unhealthy 201-300 Health alert: everyone may experience more serious health effects.
