News & Information

EnviroFlash is a system that sends e-mails about your daily air quality forecast. The message is the same air quality information that the local radio or television stations provide, plus suggested safety measures when levels are unhealthy. This service is provided by your state or local environmental agency and the US Environmental Protection Agency.

Why is EnviroFlash important?

Exposure to high levels of air pollution can aggravate heart disease, asthma and other respiratory diseases. By being aware of the air quality levels, you can take precautions to protect your family.

How does EnviroFlash work?

Air quality monitors located all over the United States take in information that is used to calculate the current Air Quality Index value. State and local environmental agencies then issue air quality forecasts based on measured air quality and weather information. The forecast is then provided to local radio and television stations, posted online and sent out through EnviroFlash.
