Increase in Code Orange and Code Red Air Quality Days Expected Throughout Region

WASHINGTON, April 28 /PRNewswire/ -- The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) National Air Quality Awareness Week kicks off today with the news that an increase in the number of Code Orange and Code Red air quality days is expected in the metropolitan Washington-Baltimore region this ozone season. The expected increase is the result of EPA's recent changes in the national air quality standard for ground-level ozone which can cause respiratory problems and other health effects. The new standard lowers the Code Orange and above range on the Air Quality Index (AQI), EPA's color-coded tool for communicating daily air quality, in order to better protect public health. The change in the AQI is attributed to new research that finds there are greater health risks when exposed to lower levels of ground-level ozone than previously thought.
