What to check (in this order)
- Long-term PM2.5: a practical “baseline” for chronic exposure comparisons.
- Nearby pollution sources: highways, industrial facilities (TRI), and hazardous sites (Superfund).
- Live AQI: useful context for “right now,” but less reliable for long-term decisions.
A calm way to compare neighborhoods
Two addresses can feel similar, yet have different long-term exposure context depending on proximity to sources and regional PM2.5.
The goal isn’t fear — it’s clarity for better decisions.
Use AirScore for a quick check
Enter an address to see a single score plus a transparent breakdown (PM2.5, AQI, and proximity-based factors).
If you’re comparing multiple places, check 2–3 addresses and look for consistent patterns.
