AQI: Good (0 - 50) AQI: Good (0 - 50)
Air quality is considered satisfactory, and air pollution poses little or no risk.
AQI: Moderate (51 - 100) AQI: Moderate (51 - 100)
Air quality is acceptable; however, for some pollutants there may be a moderate health concern for a very small number of people who are unusually sensitive to air pollution.
AQI: Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (101 - 150) AQI: Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (101 - 150)
Although general public is not likely to be affected at this AQI range, people with lung disease, older adults and children are at a greater risk from exposure to ozone, whereas persons with heart and lung disease, older adults and children are at greater risk from the presence of particles in the air.
AQI: Unhealthy (151 - 200) AQI: Unhealthy (151 - 200)
Everyone may begin to experience health effects; members of sensitive groups may experience more serious health effects.
AQI:Very Unhealthy (201 - 300) AQI: Very Unhealthy (201 - 300)
Health alert: everyone may experience more serious health effects.
AQI: Hazardous(301 - 500) AQI: Hazardous (301 - 500)
Health warnings of emergency conditions. The entire population is more likely to be affected.

Forecast Discussion: 8/16 - Ozone is forecast to remain in the good category statewide due to cloudy skies and easterly winds. Particulates are forecast to reach the moderate category in urban areas. 8/17 - Ozone is forecast to reach the moderate category along the I-95 corridor and regions to the north due to partly sunny skies and southerly winds. Particulates are expected to reach the moderate category along the I-95 corridor due to increasing humidity. 8/18 - Moderate air quality for ozone is expected state-wide due to mostly sunny skies, southwesterly winds, and increasing temperatures, with the chance for isolated areas along the I-95 corridor reaching the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups category. Particulates are expected to remain in the moderate category along the I-95 corridor. 8/19 - Ozone is expected to increase to the upper moderate category statewide due to sunny skies, increased temperatures, and persistent southwesterly winds, with the potential for isolated areas throughout New Jersey reaching the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups category. Particulates are expected to remain in the moderate category along the I-95 corridor.
