THE DELAWARE VALLEY AIR QUALITY PARTNERSHIP

The Air Quality Partnership is a network of environmentally conscious employers working to improve air quality in the Delaware Valley. Air quality advisories are sent out via e-mail or fax to partner coordinators when ground level ozone and/or particle pollution levels are high. The coordinators then forward or post the advisories at their worksites letting others know of unhealthy conditions. These advisories are not only a health warning, but a reminder to initiate actions that help prevent further air pollution.

Air Quality Action Advisories are sent out to partner organizations to help notify employees and customers of unhealthy air quality. Unlike in past years, there is only one type of advisory sent out on days with high levels of particle pollution or ozone. You will receive an Air Quality Action advisory via email the day before a forecasted event. Advisories can also be sent out year-round, but are primarily sent out during the summer months of May through September.

For more information about particle pollution, ground level ozone, their health effects, and ways to help reduce emissions, check out the online air quality resources.

Participation in the AQP and programs are entirely voluntary and our success depends on everyone sharing the responsibility. If you would like your organization to be recognized as an Air Quality Partner, registration is fast and free. You'll receive the advisories, and other promotional materials to help spread the word to your employees.

It all adds up to cleaner air!
