The air we share is a group project. When you carpool, hop on the bus or grab your bike instead of driving alone, you’re helping all of us breathe easier. Find more tips to keep our air clean at AIRQKC.org.

The MARC Air Quality Program has issued an orange Ozone Action Alert for Wednesday, Sept. 2.

Continued extreme heat, little to no cloud cover, dirty air coming into the Kansas City region, and our own locally produced pollution are all ingredients for high ozone levels that will continue into Wednesday.
