Receive Air Quality Alerts to Protect Your Health, Environment With the weather getting warmer and summer around the corner, it is time to think about Air Quality Alerts and steps we can all take to help the air (which we should do every day, not just on Air Quality alert days).  The Air Quality Index (AQI) measures air quality based on five major air pollutants.  When levels of air pollutants are forecast to be over 100 on the AQI, which is deemed unhealthy for sensitive groups, an Air Quality Alert is issued.  You can sign up to receive Air Quality Alerts from the Air Pollution Control District so you can take steps to protect your health and create cleaner air on the days when it is most needed.   Learn more about Air Quality Alerts.
