From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Redirected from Air quality Jump to: navigation search This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards Please improve this article if you can. The talk page may contain suggestions. (January 2009) Air quality is defined as a measure of the condition of air relative to the requirements of one or more biotic species and or to any human need or purpose. An air quality measurement station in Edinburgh Scotland The Air Quality Index AQI ) (also known as the Air Pollution Index API ) or Pollutant Standard Index PSI ) is a number used by government agencies to characterize the quality of the air at a given location. As the AQI increases, an increasingly large percentage of the population is likely to experience increasingly severe adverse health effects. To compute the AQI requires an air pollutant concentration from a monitor or model. The function used to convert from air pollutant concentration to AQI varies by pollutant, and is different in different countries. Air quality index values are divided into ranges, and each range is assigned a descriptor and a color code. Standardized public health advisories are associated with each AQI range. An agency might also encourage members of the public to take public transportation or work from home when AQI levels are high.

Introduction
Why is air quality important and how do transportation (mobile) sources affect it? Having clean air is important to both our health and the environment. The cars, trucks, planes, trains, and boats that move people and freight emit pollutants such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and fine particles (particulates). To keep these pollutants at a level that protects our health, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has created National Ambient Air Quality Standards ( NAAQS ). Each county in Kentucky has been designated to have met the NAAQS (attainment) or not (nonattainment). To ensure those levels are not exceeded in the future, we must estimate future pollutant levels using computer models in a process called Transportation Conformity

Sample Air Quality Forecast Guidance
Overview
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), in partnership with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), issues daily air quality forecast guidance as part of a national Air Quality Forecasting Capability. Air quality has improved significantly since the passage of the Clean Air Act in 1970. However, there are still many areas of the country where the public is exposed to unhealthy levels of air pollutants and sensitive ecosystems are damaged by air pollution. Poor air quality is responsible in the U.S. for an estimated 50,000 premature deaths each year; costs from air pollution-related illness are estimated at $150 billion per year. The goal of the air quality program is to provide the U.S. with ozone, particulate matter and other pollutant forecasts with enough accuracy and advance notice to allow people to limit harmful effects of poor air quality, saving lives and reducing the number of air quality-related asthma attacks, eye, nose, and throat irritation, heart attacks and other respiratory and cardiovascular problems.

What are you breathing? It is a good question to ask ourselves. All of us face a variety of risks to our health as we go about our day-to-day lives. Driving in cars, flying in planes, engaging in recreational activities, and being exposed to environmental pollutants all pose varying degrees of risk. Some risks are simply unavoidable. The good news is indoor air pollution is one risk that you can do something about. Find out more below about what you are breathing and how to improve the indoor air quality (IAQ) around you.

Air quality
New Zealand has relatively good air quality due to our low population density, close proximity to the sea, and remoteness from other continents and sources of pollution. However, there are some areas, mostly within our cities and towns, where air pollution is quite high.  Air pollution usually occurs when there is not much wind, and where there is high traffic, or where homes are heated by mainly open fires or wood burners. As our population, standard of living, and size of urban areas increase, air pollution may get worse. And the quality of the air we breathe, which we often take for granted, may be threatened. Unlike the food we eat or water we drink, we do not get to choose the air that we breathe.  So we must look after our air carefully and protect one of New Zealand’s most precious resources. This section of the site provides information on Ministry work on air quality and the effects of air pollution:

(This may be especially important if your real estate agent referred the testing company or remediation company, or if you are having a remediation performed and the company is going to spray, seal, guarantee, etc.) The important thing to remember is that real estate agents are not indoor air quality experts and their financial interest in the sale could pose a conflict of interest which could cost you later. Jury Verdict of $ 3.2 Million against Ohio Builder in Mold Related Case. A couple who said that Maronda Homes of Ohio sold them a defective house in Reynoldsburg and didn't correct the problems won a jury verdict recently worth nearly $3.2 million. The Franklin County Common Pleas jury awarded Roman and Jennifer Cosner $731,586 in compensatory damages and $1 million in punitive damages. The compensatory damages will be tripled to nearly $2.2 million under the Consumer Sales Practices Act because jurors found Maronda acted in "an unfair, deceptive or unconscionable" manner.

Mold: it's as old as the Earth and it's everywhere- inside homes and out. And under the right set of conditions, it can actually start to grow inside your house. Even though the issue of household mold is not new, you may have heard something about it recently in the media. The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) has prepared consumer information to help you understand what mold is, how it can grow in your home, the routine maintenance procedures you can follow to prevent mold problems, and methods of removing mold already in your home.

Air Quality
Air pollution comes from many different sources: stationary sources such as factories, power plants, and smelters and smaller sources such as dry cleaners and degreasing operations; mobile sources such as cars, buses, planes, trucks, and trains; and naturally occurring sources such as windblown dust, and volcanic eruptions, all contribute to air pollution. Air Quality can be affected in many ways by the pollution emitted from these sources. These pollution sources can also emit a wide variety of pollutants. The EPA has these pollutants classified as the six principal pollutants (or criteria pollutants-as they are also known). These pollutants are monitored by the EPA, as well as national, state and local organizations. The Clean Air Act provides the principal framework for national, state, and local efforts to protect air quality. Under the Clean Air Act, OAQPS is responsible for setting standards, also known as national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS), for pollutants which are considered harmful to people and the environment. OAQPS is also responsible for ensuring that these air quality standards are met, or attained (in cooperation with state, Tribal, and local governments) through national standards and strategies to control pollutant emissions from automobiles, factories, and other sources.
