AIR Quality (unpolluted)
Respirators protect the user in two basic ways. The first (N95) is by the
removal of contaminants from the air. Respirators of this type include
particulate respirators, which filter out airborne particles; and "gas masks”
which filter out chemicals and gases

AIR Quality (continued)
AQI
(AQI = Air Quality Index)
0-50
Good Air quality is considered satisfactory, and air pollution poses little or no risk.
Levels of Health Concern
51-100
Moderate Air quality is acceptable; however, for some pollutants there may be a moderate health
concern for a very small number of people. For example, people who are unusually sensitive to ozone
may experience respiratory symptoms
101-150 Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups" Although general public is not likely to be affected at this AQI range,
people with lung disease, older adults and children are at a greater risk from exposure to ozone,
whereas persons with heart and lung disease, older adults and children are at greater risk from the
presence of particles in the air.
151 to 200 Unhealthy Everyone may begin to experience some adverse health effects, and members of the
sensitive groups may experience more serious effects.
201 to 300 Very Unhealthy This would trigger a health alert signifying that everyone may experience more serious
health effects
301 to 500 Hazardous This would trigger a health warnings of emergency conditions. The entire population is
more likely to be affected
