AIR QUALITY

The Air Quality table shows the 7-year average of the EPA's Air Quality Index, an approximate indicator of overall air pollution. The index is based on measurements of carbon monoxide, ozone and other pollutants.

The % Good Days column is the percentage of days measured in your favorite city or town that offered good, clean air with the lowest level of pollutants.

If you have been to Santa Fe, New Mexico then you can attest to the radiance of the natural light that is like no other place. Maybe it's because of the pristine air.
