Further, ADEM has several public notice mechanisms in place to notify the public of Ozone and other pollutant forecasting. These mechanisms include issuing daily air quality forecasts for both Ozone and PM2.5.
Air Quality forecasts are designed to help areas achieve and maintain compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and to also allow citizens to make informed decisions about their daily outdoor activities. The forecasts are provided to the public in several ways. First, the forecast is posted to the EPA AirNow website, and through Enviroflash, individuals can sign up to receive customized forecasts through email. Additionally, the forecast is posted on ADEM's website for the public to view. When air quality is expected to be poor, an Air Quality Alert is issued for a city and the local National Weather
