This week’s average Birmingham Metro air quality:
63 - MODERATE. 🟡

An AQI of 63 falls in the “Moderate” range (51-100).

That means air quality is generally acceptable, but some people who are unusually sensitive to air pollution may experience health effects.

At GASP, we believe people deserve access to information about the air they breathe. With the help of our AirKeepers, we’re building a community-powered picture of Birmingham’s air quality.

Follow along each week to see what the data tells us about our air.🌤️

This week’s Birmingham Metro air quality: 54 — MODERATE. 🟡

Today, we’re kicking off GASP’s weekly air quality reports, sharing the average AQI recorded across our Birmingham Metro community monitoring network.

An AQI of 54 falls in the “Moderate” range (51–100). That means air quality is generally acceptable, but some people who are unusually sensitive to air pollution may experience health effects.

At GASP, we believe people deserve access to information about the air they breathe. With the help of our AirKeepers (community members who host PurpleAir monitors on their property) we’re building a community-powered picture of Birmingham’s air quality.

Follow along each week to see what the data tells us about the air around us 🌤️
