Current Hourly Air Quality Index Map

This interactive map provides current air quality levels and health recommendations at a neighborhood scale for the entire South Coast AQMD jurisdiction. This map blends data from regulatory monitoring data operated by South Coast AQMD, hundreds of low-cost fine particle pollution sensors, and a forecast model to generate air quality index values at 1,218 locations. For details of this methodology, see How is my AQI determined?
