 The Air Pollution Control District took the time to encourage residents to familiarize themselves with air quality tools and resources that are available to them. Notably:
- Residents can sign up to receive alerts when air quality is forecast to be poor, this is especially valuable for sensitive groups like older adults, children, and those with pre existing conditions like asthma.
- Residents can access live air quality conditions and health guidance 24/7 with resources like APCD’s Louisville Air Watch at lousivilleky.gov/air (graphic attached)
- If residents see or experience air pollution issues like odors, open burning, or dust we encourage them to report those to us with as much detail as possible (graphic attached)
We also encourage local businesses to sign up as Air Quality Action Partners by taking a few voluntary steps to improve air quality in Louisville.
