Not sure if I got the science correct here? Any suggestions?
Before:
AIR QUALITY LEVELS IN
OUTDOOR AIR ARE PREDICTED TO BE GREATER THAN AN AIR QUALITY INDEX VALUE OF 100
FOR THE POLLUTANT OF GROUND LEVEL OZONE. THE AIR QUALITY INDEX...OR AQI...WAS
CREATED AS AN EASY WAY TO CORRELATE LEVELS OF DIFFERENT POLLUTANTS TO ONE
SCALE. THE HIGHERTHE AQI VALUE, THE GREATER THE HEALTH CONCERN.
After:
Outdoor air quality will not be healthy today for some people. This is because there will be more pollution from ground level ozone in the air today.
The Air Quality Index (measure) for today will be
higher than 100.
AQI ( what the numbers mean)
Good
|
0-50
|
Moderate
|
51-100
|
Unhealthy
|
101-150
|
Very unhealthy
|
201-300
|
Hazardous
|
301-500
|
(Borrowed this idea from a nice, full color chart at New York State
Environmental Conservation http://www.dec.ny.gov/cfmx/extapps/aqi/aqi_forecast.cfm )
