The EPA has updated its scientific correction equation to provide more accurate sensor data.
Improved sensor data correction equation.Ability to save monitors and sensors to a “favorites” listĭo you frequently check the same monitor or sensors? Now you can save them to a favorites list.The modified scale enhances contrast between the colors, which makes it easier to distinguish the AQI categories. To see a version of the map with a modified Air Quality Index (AQI) color scale, click the color wheel in the upper right-hand corner.

The EPA and USFS will update the map layers several times during year, as we respond to feedback and work to improve the map. While these sensors don’t meet the rigorous standards required for regulatory monitors, they can help you get a picture of air quality nearest you especially when wildfire smoke is in your area. Fire and Smoke Map: The EPA and USFS have created this map to test new data layers of use during fire and smoke events, including air quality data from low-cost sensors.
