How to read these numbers

The index is computed per reporting area, not per address. One station represents a whole district, and next to a busy road the real value can be much worse than the station reading.

On a wildfire smoke day the picture changes within hours. It is worth checking the smoke map page too, which uses NOAA satellite analysis.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the station so far from my home?
The official network is designed to represent average population exposure, not every street. Large cities have several reporting areas; pick the one matching your side of town.
Can I trust a home sensor?
A low cost sensor is fine for trends, but it is not calibrated and usually overestimates PM2.5 when humidity is high.
