| Classification | Index | pm10 | pm2.5 | The health effects should be based on 24 hours average values only. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Good | 1-50 | < 54 μg/m3 | < 12 μg/m3 | Air quality is considered satisfactory, and air pollution poses little or no risk |
| Moderate | 51-100 | < 154 μg/m3 | < 35.4 μg/m3 | Air quality is acceptable; however, for some pollutants there may be a moderate health concern for a very small number of people who are unusually sensitive to air pollution. |
| Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups | 101-150 | < 254 μg/m3 | < 55.4 μg/m3 | Members of sensitive groups may experience health effects. The general public is not likely to be affected. |
| Unhealthy | 151-200 | < 354 μg/m3 | < 150.4 μg/m3 | Everyone may begin to experience health effects; members of sensitive groups may experience more serious health effects. |
| Very Unhealthy | 201-300 | < 424 μg/m3 | < 250.4 μg/m3 | Health warnings of emergency conditions. The entire population is more likely to be affected |
| Hazardous | 301-500 | > 424 μg/m3 | > 250.4 μg/m3 | Health alert: everyone may experience more serious health effects |

What is Air Pollution?
The Clean Air Act requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to set National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for six common air pollutants - also known as "criteria pollutants." These are: carbon monoxide, lead, ground-level ozone, nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter, and sulfur dioxide. These common air pollutants are found all and come from various sources such as coal-fired power plants, factories, cars, and trains. All of the criteria pollutants can be harmful to your health and the environment.
