Air Quality Monitors Dashboard

Air quality monitors measure particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone (O3), the two main criteria pollutants produced by wildfires that can harm human health. Monitor data provides information on the air quality in communities, determines how wildfire smoke is impacting areas, and helps verify satellite retrievals and model forecasts. The Air Quality Monitors Dashboard provides an interface to explore monitor locations, AQI levels, and ground-based concentrations of ozone and particulates in a geographical framework. Monitor data are current values from AirNow. AQI values are plotted in bar charts. Feature pop-ups contain detailed site and pollutant information. All dashboard elements are context-sensitive, filtering to show only what is contained in the current map extent.
