Interpreting the AQI
Each NAAQS pollutant has a separate AQI scale, with an AQI rating of 100 corresponding to the concentration of the Federal Standard for that pollutant. Additional information about the AQI and how it can be used is available from the
EPA
.
The AQI scale is divided into the following categories:
| Air Quality |
| Good | Moderate | Unhealthy (for sensitive groups) | Unhealthy | Very Unhealthy | Hazardous |
