What’s the air quality near my house?

What air quality usually refers to

Most people think of air quality as today’s AQI. AQI reflects current conditions, but it doesn’t always represent long-term exposure patterns that researchers focus on.

Why two homes nearby can have different air quality

• Traffic density and highway proximity
• Prevailing wind patterns
• Nearby industrial or airport activity
• Regional particulate pollution (PM2.5)

That’s why AirScore evaluates air quality at the address level rather than city averages.

How AirScore evaluates air quality

AirScore blends public environmental datasets to provide a clearer picture of long-term environmental context.

• Live AQI from nearby monitors
• Long-term PM2.5 exposure estimates
• Proximity to common pollution sources
