CSTE members maintain indicators to quantify the health effects of ambient air pollution for the purpose of surveillance and public health action. Standardized and comparable across states, these can be used to detect trends over time, identify geographic areas needing public health engagements, and support environmental public health policy efforts. 

Please see below for the CSTE Air Quality Indicators. Please note that these indicators were last reviewed in 2018 and may not reflect the most current data available. For more information, please contact Margaret Thelen.  Click here to view other Environmental Health/Occupational Health/Injury activities.
