Description

The Air Quality Index (AQI) is an index for reporting daily air quality. One thing the AQI does is help you understand what the air quality around you means to your health. Each of the AQI colors has a word or phrase to go with it that tells you something about health. This page lists AQI colors and the health words that go with them.
