Welcome to Citizens for Clean Air, Grand Junction CO

Current particulate AQI values in the Grand Valley

You are looking at Purple Air monitors (colored circles with numbers inside), located on a map of the Grand Valley, showing real-time data on air pollution from particulates. Current Air Quality conditions are indicated by a color and a number, based on the EPA’s Air Quality Index (AQI). The higher the number the worse the pollution, starting from zero.

  • Click on a circle at any location to bring up a window with detailed information for that site.
  • At the top of the window you will see the name of the location, the AQI number, and the coinciding color (green indicates Good; yellow indicates Moderate; orange indicates Warning; etc.)
  • By clicking on any color under the AQI number, you can find out what the colors, numbers, and health effects are.
  • The graph shows recent changes in the AQI values. You can zoom into a section by dragging the mouse from where you want to start to where you want to end.
