Escambia County's Air Quality Monitoring Network includes twelve air quality stations throughout the county that report conditions in real-time, allowing citizens to make better-informed decisions for daily activities.
Air quality monitoring provides the public with measurements of pollutant concentration levels in the ambient air, the portion of the atmosphere near ground level and external to buildings or other structures. Through the Air Quality Monitoring Network, Escambia County provides the public with data on particle pollution, particulate matter and other parameters at each station. The network will also provide data to weather reporting services such as the AirNow Fire and Smoke Map.

MRL = Minimum Risk Levels for exposure by inhalation
Minimum Risk Levels = An estimate of the daily human exposure to a hazardous substance that is likely to be without appreciable risk of adverse, non-cancer health effects over a specified duration of exposure. MRLs serve as a screening tool to help public health professionals decide where to look more closely to evaluate possible risk of adverse health effects from human exposure.
