Ann Arbor unveils city air-quality dashboard with 10 monitors, city analyst says
Summary
Sean Reynolds, senior analyst with the Office of Sustainability and Innovations, said the city launched an AQI dashboard showing readings from 10 monitors, advised residents to sign up for alerts at AQI level 4 or higher, and tied the move to the A2zero carbon-neutrality plan for 2030.
The City of Ann Arbor, in partnership with Clarity Movement, now operates an air-quality dashboard that displays the Air Quality Index from 10 monitors located across the city, a city analyst said.
"I'm excited to share that the City, in collaboration with Clarity Movement, now operates an air quality dashboard that displays the Air Quality Index, or AQI, at each of 10 air quality monitors that we have installed across the City," Sean Reynolds, senior analyst with the Office of Sustainability and Innovations, said. Reynolds explained the dashboard uses the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's AQI scale and recommended signing up for email alerts when the AQI reaches level 4 or higher; he noted sensitive groups may experience health effects earlier. The feature directs viewers to a2gov.org/airquality for the dashboard and additional pollutant graphs.
Reynolds said the work supports the city's A2zero plan to achieve community-wide carbon neutrality by 2030.
