The Air Quality Health Index or “AQHI” is a tool to help protect your health. Using a scale from 1 to 10 and the words low, moderate, high, and very high, it measures current levels of outdoor air pollution and related health risk. It can help you decide when it is safe to be active outside, especially if you have a health condition such as lung or heart disease.
