Readings use the EPA's six-level scale, from Good (1) to Hazardous (6), and update daily. Cities without a reading refresh the next time their page loads.

How to read these numbers

The air quality index tracks pollution: ozone, fine particles (PM2.5), dust, and exhaust. Good and Moderate days are fine for almost everyone. At Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups, people with asthma or a heart condition feel it first. Unhealthy and above means everyone should cut back time outside.

Pollen is not part of this score. A Good air day in Nebraska can still be a rough allergy day, so check Nebraska pollen levels too before you plan a long day outside.
