Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Air Quality Index (AQI) is the standardized indicator used to report daily air quality to the public, providing a measure of how clean or polluted the air is and what health effects might be of concern. It takes into account measurements of five major air pollutants regulated by the Clean Air Act: ground-level ozone, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide. The other options are not standardized indicators used for reporting air quality.
