About Citizens for Clean Air
Our Vision: A Western Slope where responsible citizens work with government agencies, non-profits, and the private sector to promote clean air as it affects public health.
Our Mission: To research the causes of Western Slope air pollution and promote improvement of air quality in Mesa County through grassroots involvement with local, state, and federal efforts to mitigate the effects of known air pollutants on humans, agriculture, and the environment.
You are looking at 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.
