AirNow and the U.S. Forest Service have launched a pilot project to show data from low-cost sensors on the Fire and Smoke Map. The goal of the project is to provide additional air quality information during wildfires – especially in areas with no AirNow monitors. See the map.
NOAA Forecast Maps - The NOAA map is the output numerical photochemical model that creates a gridded file for the entire United States. This is different from the AirNow maps, which are the output of data provided from our participating State and local agencies.
EnviroFlash Toolkit - helps state and local EnviroFlash partners market and promote the system. The toolkit includes business card templates and public service announcements, including four radio PSAs.
Air Quality Flag Program: EPA's Air Quality Flag Program alerts organizations to the local air quality forecast and helps them to take actions to protect people’s health, including those with asthma.
Burn Wise: EPA's Burn Wise is a partnership program that emphasizes the importance of burning the right wood, the right way, in the right wood-burning appliance to protect your home, health, and the air we breathe.
