KEY:  AQI = Air Quality Index; R = revised.,,,,,,,,,,,,,
NOTES,,,,,,,,,,,,,
"The Air Quality Index (AQI) integrates information on 5 major pollutants (particulate matter less than 10 microns in diameter, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone, and nitrogen dioxide and for 2000-2003 particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter is also included as a sixth major pollutant) across an entire monitoring network into a single number that represents the worst daily air quality experienced in an urban area. An AQI greater than 100 indicates that at least 1 criteria pollutant exceeded air quality standards on a given day; therefore, air quality would be in the unhealthful range on that day.  Air quality monitoring sites are selected as ""trend sites"" if they have complete data for at least 8 of the 10 last years.",,,,,,,,,,,,,
