Local Air Quality Information Now Available at Love My Air Wisconsin

Love My Air Wisconsin displays hour-by-hour data on fine particulate matter (PM2.5), particles that can cause serious health problems when we breathe them in. Users can explore sensor readings, view air quality trends in their neighborhoods, and learn about actions to reduce exposure.

This month, Madisonians will have two opportunities to join the Love My Air Wisconsin team for fun, hands-on air quality education at the Madison Children's Museum. The first is at Adult Swim: Green Vibes Only on April 10. The second family-friendly event, Breathe Easy, Play Hard, will be the following morning while the first Dane County Farmers Market of the season takes place on the Capitol Square.

Love My Air began in 2018 as an initiative by the City of Denver to provide actionable air quality information to local residents. Since then, the program has expanded from 9 to more than 35 schools in the Denver Public School System and three health care centers, and other communities in Colorado. Building on this success, the Children's Health Alliance of Wisconsin launched the Love My Air Wisconsin program, installing air quality sensors at 15 schools in partnership with Milwaukee Public Schools. The City of Madison has joined this initiative to provide accessible information about air quality that helps our community know when to take action to protect our health.
