Your Outdoor Air Quality Monitor Could Lead to Safer Air for Everyone
Briefly

Recent advances have made air quality monitoring accessible to the public, including through weather apps and government websites. Each state has its monitoring plan, but gaps still exist in coverage, especially in urban areas. Monitoring outdoor air quality is essential for public health, especially as previous negligence led to severe health consequences. The weakening of Air Quality Index standards by the EPA risks increasing pollution and reducing data accuracy. Personal air quality monitors are now vital tools for individuals to stay informed about their environment.
Outdoor air quality monitors are not just for understanding the air quality when the odor of smoke fills your home-an outdoor monitor can keep you informed.
Once more, Trump's EPA is seeking to weaken current Air Quality Index standards, the numbers that decide what is good, moderate, or unhealthy air, along with repealing the regulations on emissions of greenhouse gases.
