Recently with all the turbulence in weather patterns checking the air quality has become a top concern. AirNow.gov, an initiative of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is a comprehensive online platform designed to provide real-time and historical air quality information. The website offers interactive maps, allowing you to explore air quality conditions in their local area or across the United States. By utilizing the color-coded Air Quality Index (AQI), students can better understand the health implications associated with different air quality levels. Furthermore, AirNow.gov provides valuable resources, including lesson plans, teaching materials, and educational tools, enabling educators to seamlessly incorporate air quality education into their curriculum.
