Know Your Air : Real-Time Air Quality Insights

Check the Quality of the Air where you Live

Ever wonder what you're breathing in? Use the interactive tool below to check the Air Quality Index (AQI) for your location. This live dial gives you an instant look at pollution levels in your area, so you can take steps to protect your indoor air, especially on high-risk days.

Right below the monitor, you’ll also find a simple breakdown of what each AQI score means and what actions you can take at each level. From “Good” days where you can open windows and enjoy fresh airflow, to “Unhealthy” days where it’s best to limit exposure and rely on indoor air filtration, this guide helps you quickly translate numbers into real-world decisions.

Particles, gases, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), mold, pollen, and other common indoor air pollutants can be harmful to your health. Some let themselves into your home from outside, through open windows and doors and tiny cracks and crevices. Others come from indoor activities and sources, including building materials, home furnishings, cleaning and consumer products, smoking, and cooking.

Can You Use FSA or HSA Funds for an Air Purifier?

Can You Use FSA or HSA Funds for an Air Purifier?

Cleaner air at home may be even more affordable than you think.

A health hack, if you will.
