EPA Air Quality System annual summaries by county, 2025. The 90th percentile AQI describes a day worse than nine out of ten, which is a steadier measure than the annual maximum a single wildfire can set.

Not measured

1 counties without a monitor

No EPA monitor reported from these counties, so there is no air quality record to publish. Their radon zone is known, and radon is measured in the building rather than the air outside it.
