Air Quality Index
AQI or Air Quality Index is the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) index for reporting air quality. The numbered scale runs from 0 to 500, with the higher the number, the greater the air pollution and a greater health concern. This index is an important number for those companies in high risk areas such as California who have staff working outside.

Particulate Matter
Particulate Matter is commonly noted as PM. It is the term for the moisture and solid particles in the air. Some particles may be small an unseen by the human eye, while other such a smoke, dust or dirt, may be easily visible. It is possible that these small, unseen particles, which can be inhaled, can cause serious health problems. Knowing the daily PM rating for those who work outside regularly, is important for health safety.
