This app by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) provides users with real-time air quality information to help them plan their day. The app allows users to get location-specific reports on current air quality and air quality forecasts for both ozone and fine particle pollution. Our favorite part is the page on air quality-related health effects, which explains what actions people can take to protect their health at different AQI levels, such as “code orange.”
- Smog Report (Free)
Smog Report by PixelStorm is a sleek take on air quality information that comes directly from the EPA. This app is an innovative way to quickly see what the current smog conditions are by glancing at a simple, familiar, color scale leaf to get the information you need right away. We love the look of Smog Report as well as the social media sharing aspect so you can keep your friends and family in the loop as well.

The app gives today’s color-coded EPA Air Quality Index for your location, featuring both Ozone and Particulate Pollution counts. Also get a look at tomorrow’s forecast too! The app also has a “Speak Up” section that allows users to tell lawmakers that they care about air pollution and its impact on their health with an easy to send message.
