Be Air Aware
This Web site is dedicated to the Indiana Department of Environmental Management's (IDEM) Be Air Aware Campaign and is designed to provide information about ozone, fine particulate matter, Air Quality Action Days (AQADs) and what you can do to be part of the solution to pollution.
Air Awareness
IDEM makes every effort to alert Hoosiers if their community will be experiencing decreased air quality that could put sensitive groups at risk. By making small changes in your daily routine, you can make a difference and help reduce ozone and fine particles in your community.

Air Quality Action Days
Air Quality Action Days are IDEM's way of letting you know the air quality is not healthy for sensitive groups and we need you to take action to help make the air cleaner. The best way to learn about AQADs is through IDEM's SmogWatch Web site.
