AirNow is experiencing technical issues with the location lookup function in both the iOS and Android versions of the AirNow app. The issue should not affect your saved locations. While we work to resolve the issue, you can find your air quality by selecting “Map” at the bottom of the app or by visiting the AirNow website at https://www.airnow.gov.
Mark your calendars! Air Quality Awareness Week 2024 is May 6-10. The theme this year is, “Knowing Your Air”. AQAW highlights resources that increase air quality awareness and encourages people to take action and incorporate air quality knowledge into their daily living. Join us on the web and social media on May 6th to learn more. #AQAW2024
EPA has updated the Air Quality Index (AQI) for particle pollution, at the same time the Agency updated the annual health-based standard for this harmful pollutant. AirNow will reflect the updates when they become effective -- 60 days after the rule is published in the Federal Register. Read about the AQI updates.
