Air Quality Awareness Week

Air Quality Awareness Week 2025 is May 5-9.

This week also aligns with World Asthma Day on Tuesday, May 6th. 

The theme this year is, "Stay Air Aware." Air Quality Awareness Week highlights resources that increase air quality awareness and encourages people to stay aware of their air quality and incorporate air quality knowledge into their daily living. 

Air Quality Awareness Week also provides an opportunity for people to learn how they can take action to prepare for and respond to events and environments with poor air quality - not just during the month of May, but year-round!
