air quality and health data

Is air pollution a risk factor for poor health?
Again, air pollution is near the top of the list making it one of the leading risk factors for poor health across the world. Air pollution not only takes years from peoples' lives, but also had large effect on quality while they're still living. Who is most affected by air pollution?
How do we present air quality data that represent human exposure?
In order to present air quality data that represent human exposure, we used mainly urban measurements, comprising urban background, residential areas, commercial and mixed areas or rural areas and industrial areas close to urban settlements. The database is updated regularly every 2-3 years since 2011.
What is the air quality index (AQI)?
EPA developed the Air Quality Index, or AQI, to make information available about the health effects of the five most common air pollutants, and how to avoid those effects. The Air Quality Index (AQI) tells you how clean or polluted your outdoor air is and the associated health effects that may be of concern.

We Track That

Since the 1950s, air quality has been a major public health and environmental concern. Local, state, and national programs have helped us learn more about the problems and how to solve them. Federal, state, local, and tribal air agencies operate and maintain a wide variety of outdoor air monitoring systems across the United States. Many of these sy

Data in Action

The health effects of air pollution are influenced by social, demographic, and economic factors. The Tracking Network allows users to analyze factors that may increase vulnerability to health effects including income, race and ethnicity, health insurance status, and age. Tracking air quality in a standard way over time can help us •track potential exposures and evaluate health impacts. •estimate the positive health impacts that could be achieved with a change in outdoor air quality. •prioritize emission sources as potential targets for risk reduction activities and for further study. •identify locations of interest for further investigation. •assist public health practitioners and emergency responders identify populations at risk for exposure to wildfire smoke and make informed decisions before, during, and after wildfire smoke emergencies. cdc.gov
