PM2.5 annual mean (NAAQS 9 µg/m³ (annual))iHealth riskFine inhalable particles 2.5 micrometers or smaller. They travel deep into the lungs and into the bloodstream — linked to asthma, heart disease, stroke, and premature death.

5.93 µg/m³ · -3% YoY · +25% since 2016

PM2.5 annual mean (NAAQS 9 µg/m³ (annual)) concentrations are up 25% since 2016.

PM2.5 24-hour 98th percentile (NAAQS 35 µg/m³ (24-hour))iHealth riskFine inhalable particles 2.5 micrometers or smaller. They travel deep into the lungs and into the bloodstream — linked to asthma, heart disease, stroke, and premature death.

17.70 µg/m³ · +16% YoY · +19% since 2016

PM2.5 24-hour 98th percentile (NAAQS 35 µg/m³ (24-hour)) concentrations are up 19% since 2016.

Ozone 8-hour 4th-highest daily max (NAAQS 0.070 ppm (8-hour))iHealth riskGround-level ozone (smog) forms when vehicle and industrial emissions react in sunlight. Inflames the airways, triggers asthma attacks, and worsens heart and lung disease.

0.060 ppm · -8% YoY · -25% since 2010

Ozone 8-hour 4th-highest daily max (NAAQS 0.070 ppm (8-hour)) concentrations have fallen 25% since 2010.

Lifetime cancer risk all pollutants (100 in a million (EPA elevated threshold))iHealth riskEPA-modeled added cancer cases per million residents from a lifetime of breathing local air toxics. EPA flags 100-in-a-million as elevated.

Single-vintage exposure modeling — EPA cadence is multi-year, so no trend line yet.

Formaldehyde ambient mean (0.077 µg/m³ (1-in-a-million URE))iHealth riskAn air toxic emitted by refineries, wood products, and combustion. EPA classifies it as a known human carcinogen — long-term inhalation raises cancer risk.

Single-vintage exposure modeling — EPA cadence is multi-year, so no trend line yet.

TRI air releases (5.1 fugitive + 5.2 stack)iHealth riskToxic chemicals reported by industrial facilities as released into the air — fugitive leaks plus smokestack emissions. Higher pounds means more inhaled exposure for nearby residents.

Greenhouse gases (GHGRP large emitters, through 2023)iHealth riskGreenhouse gases reported by large industrial emitters under EPA's GHGRP, in metric tons of CO₂ equivalent. Drives climate warming and the heat-related health effects that follow.

0.1M metric tons CO₂e · +17% YoY · +232% since 2010

Greenhouse gases (GHGRP large emitters, through 2023) concentrations have more than doubled since 2010.
