Air Quality Awareness Week: May 6 – 10, 2024

Join us as we partner with EPA for Air Quality Awareness Week!

“The theme for this year is, “Knowing Your Air”. Air Quality Awareness Week highlights resources that increase air quality awareness and encourages people to take action and incorporate air quality knowledge into their daily living. This year, resources and activities that are especially useful for students and teachers will be featured throughout our AQAW webpages.

Air Quality Awareness Week provides an opportunity for people to learn about what causes poor air quality and how people can prepare for and respond to events and environments with poor air quality – not just during the month of May, but year-round!”*
