What Do the Colors in the AirCasting App Mean?
The colorful circles and data points you see in the AirCasting app aren’t just cool to look at – they mean something too! The colors used in the app are based on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Air Quality Index (AQI) color scale and show the AQI level based on measurements that were made over 24 hours. The AQI explains how air quality impacts your health. Visit AQI basics to learn more about AQI.
