Air Quality in New England
EPA Region 1 air quality staff works closely with state air quality forecasters to accurately predict times that the six criteria air pollutants (carbon monoxide, lead, particulate matter, ground-level ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide) will exceed health standards. EPA and states offer free tools for people to understand air quality forecasts and make decisions about their activities to limit their exposure, while working collaboratively to improve air quality across the New England region.
