Maricopa County's Initiative to Promote Cleaner Air and Healthier Lives

Let's get serious (and outraged) here, folks > Neither ADEQ nor Maricopa County is doing enough to fulfill their mission: FAILURE: the air we breathe is dangerous to health.

This region consistently violates federal clean air standards year-after-year. It's getting worse, not better. A so-called "educational outreach initiative" just does not even take the first pro-active action necessary to deal with this problem.

All nine PM-2.5 monitors across the Phoenix Valley exceed the Federal Health Standard yesterday. One monitor (West Phoenix) came in with an AQI of 249 (199.3ug/m3) which is "Very Unhealthy." This is also the highest PM-2.5 value we have recorded on New Year's Day since our current network records began in 2005.
