Air Quality in Your Community
Before you get out and about, visit AirNow.gov to check air pollution levels in your
community. This is especially important if someone in your family belongs to a
group that is more sensitive to air pollution, such as children, older adults,
and those with heart or lung problems.

Every
day organizations across the country fly brightly colored flags to show the
daily Air Quality Index and increase air quality awareness. Learn more about
the Air Quality Flag Program.
When ozone or particle pollution levels reach
unhealthy levels, you and others in your community can reduce air pollution.
Here’s how:
On the Road
- Choose a cleaner commute — car
pool, use public transportation, bike, or walk.
- Combine errands and avoid
idling your engine.
- Be sure your tires are properly
inflated.
- Keep your car, boat, and other
engines tuned.
- Follow refueling instructions
when you fill up at the gas station so that vapors don’t escape into the
air. Be careful not to spill fuel and always tighten your gas cap.
At Home
- Use paints and cleaning
products that are safe for the environment.
- Conserve electricity: Set your
thermostat a little higher in the summer and lower in winter. Participate
in local energy conservation programs. Look for the ENERGY
STAR
label when buying home or office equipment.
- Consider using gas logs instead
of wood. Burn only dry, seasoned wood. Get more information at EPA Burn
Wise
In the Garden
- Mulch or compost leaves and
yard waste.
- Rake leaves instead of using a
leaf blower.
- Opt for a manual lawn mower
instead of electric or fuel-burning models.
- Plant more plants, especially
trees.
