Air quality data are available for the following sites:
This air monitor is operated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Air Resource Management.
The Air Quality Index (AQI) is a tool for reporting daily air quality. It tells you how clean or polluted your air is and what associated health effects might be a concern for you. The AQI focuses on health effects you may experience within a few hours or days after breathing polluted air. It takes all the monitored pollutants and relates them to a single-scale value to indicate air quality. See the AQI guide below for details.
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) along with local governmental agencies own and operate the monitors that make up Florida's ambient air monitoring network. The network is operated by DEP’s Division of Air Resource Management staff in Tallahassee, DEP's six district offices, and nine local governmental agencies (Broward, Hillsborough, Manatee, Miami-Dade, Orange, Palm Beach, Pinellas and Sarasota counties and the city of Jacksonville).
Florida's Air Quality System for continuous monitoring comprises 57 ozone (O3) monitors, 31 fine particle pollution (PM2.5) monitors, 11 particle pollution (PM10) monitors, 10 carbon monoxide (CO) monitors, 7 nitrogen dioxide (NO2) monitors and 19 sulfur dioxide (SO2) monitors located in 37 counties.
Florida's Air Quality System (FLAQS) webpage provides up-to-date pollution data to the public. Nineteen different states, local and private air programs provide ambient air data to this system. They operate the state's ambient air monitoring network, routinely recording data 24 hours per day.
