This layer displays the percentage of days (in a single year) with the concetration of fine particulate matter (fine particles 2.5 micrometers or less) above the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) of 35.0 micrograms per cubic meter.
Days Exceeding NAAQ Standards for Ozone
This layer displays the percentage of days (in a single year) with the maximum 8-hour average ozone concetration above the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) of 0.070 parts per million.
Air Quality – Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5) by Census Tract, 2012

Air Quality – Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5) by Census Tract, 2016

EJ Screen PM 2.5
The PM 2.5 indicator is a measure of potential exposure to inhalable particles that are 2.5 micrometers or smaller. This is measured in terms of annual average concentration in air measured in micrograms per cubic meter. PM 2.5 information included in EJScreen highlights areas across the U.S. that are not meeting the national ambient air quality standard for PM 2.5. In other words, the levels of PM 2.5 present in these areas are deemed harmful to human health. The PM 2.5 indicator in EJScreen is a measure of potential exposure but not a measure of risk. The raw PM 2.5 data is compiled by census tract which is supplied for use in the tool by EPA’s OAQPS. For air toxics risk measures (as opposed to exposure) users can turn to EJScreen’s other three indicators: cancer risk, respiratory HI, and diesel PM.
Air Quality – Ozone Levels (O3) by Census Tract, 2019
This layer displays the daily average concentration of ozone and the percentage of days with concentrations of ozone above the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) of 0.075 parts per million in 2019.
Air Quality – Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5) by Census Tract, 2018
This layer displays the daily average concentration of fine particulate matter and the percentage of days with concentrations of fine particulate matter above the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) of 35.0 micrograms per cubic meter in 2018.
