Air Quality Awareness Week
Air Quality Awareness Week 2024 is May 6-10.
EPA is partnering with National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. National Park Service, U.S. Department of Energy, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, as well as state, local, and Tribal agencies to share information with the public about efforts to protect and improve air quality. This week also includes World Asthma Day on Tuesday, May 7th.
The theme for this year is, “Knowing Your Air”. Air Quality Awareness Week highlights resources that increase air quality awareness and encourages people to take action and incorporate air quality knowledge into their daily living. This year, resources and activities that are especially useful for students and teachers will be featured throughout our AQAW webpages.
Air Quality Awareness Week provides an opportunity for people to learn about what causes poor air quality and how people can prepare for and respond to events and environments with poor air quality – not just during the month of May, but year-round!
