AirNow Fire and Smoke Map

This map shows observed air quality conditions based on fine scale particulate (PM2.5) concentrations, as well as fire locations from incidents and satellite detections, and smoke plumes detected by satellites. The U.S. Air Quality Index (AQI) is a tool for communicating air quality. It uses color-coded categories and provides statements for each category that tell you about air quality in your area, which groups of people may be affected, and steps you can take to reduce your exposure to air pollution. Each category tells you about air quality in your area and the groups of people that may be affected. It also tells you steps you can take to reduce your exposure to air pollution and protect your health. Higher values indicate worse air quality. EPA issues an AQI for five pollutants, including fine particle pollution, (PM2.5) and ozone.
