Air Quality Awareness Week is an annual event that promotes the use of air quality forecasts to protect public health and increase awareness of the direct impact of air quality on our well-being. Hosted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, this event will take place from May 6th to May 10th, 2024 in Hopewell Township, New Jersey.
As we head into the summer months, it is crucial to pay attention to air quality and take steps to protect vulnerable populations such as children by limiting outdoor exposure when the Air Quality Index (AQI) is at unhealthy levels. It is important to understand how air quality can affect your health and take proactive measures to safeguard yourself and your loved ones from its harmful effects.
