AQI Values
Due to data quality concerns with other pollutants being monitored, AQI values currently being reported for this study are limited to PM2.5. AQI values were calculated using EPA’s methodology published in their May 2024 Technical Assistance Document (here). Each daily AQI value is based on the 24-hour average PM2.5 concentration at a given location. Because sensor calibration is ongoing, current data and AQI values are subject to change. Final values will be posted when available. Linked below are the available AQI values for Anaktuvuk Pass (AKP).
