A. The quality of Ada County's air shall be determined by monitoring pollutant levels with equipment and methods approved by the Idaho state department of environmental quality (DEQ).
B. In order to prevent the existence of air quality that is unhealthful, an air pollution "alert" will be declared whenever the DEQ reports an air quality index (AQI) of seventy four (74) or greater and forecasts air stagnation conditions to continue for at least twenty four (24) hours. The daily AQI may be determined by calling DEQ or visiting the DEQ web page. (Ord. 254, 11-3-1992; amd. Ord. 637, 9-26-2006)
