Air Quality Index Parts per Billion

The Annual Air Quality Index is a summary measure of overall air quality for the year. In order to be in compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency's ground-level ozone standard, a location should have a 3-year average of fewer than 76 parts per billion (ppb). This standard is based on the presence of harmful ozone (O3) molecules outside the ozone layer in the stratosphere.
After 12 years of driving progress toward a shared community vision, SA2020, the nonprofit organization, is dissolving. We believe this is the most visionary thing we can do. We made this decision with the greatest care for our organizational values of leadership, community, and accountability, and we hope you’ll read more about it on our blog.
Our website is live with our final data release, showing where San Antonio stands on reaching the shared community vision. The data release is accompanied by our final call to action—a policy agenda for City government based on our unique bird’s-eye view of San Antonio.
While SA2020’s operations ended March 28, these resources, along with the last twelve years of our research and stories, will be available to download from our website through September 2024.
