The Hopewell Township Health Department is thrilled to announce Air Quality Awareness Week, which will take place from May 6th to May 10th, 2024. This annual event, hosted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, aims to promote the use of air quality forecasts in order to safeguard public health and highlight the relationship between air quality and overall well-being. With summer just around the corner, it becomes even more crucial to pay attention to air quality levels in order to protect the health of vulnerable populations, especially children.

Additionally, to further understand how air quality impacts health, visit https://www.airnow.gov/air-quality-and-health/. These resources provide valuable insights into the importance of monitoring air quality and taking necessary precautions to ensure the well-being of the community.
During Air Quality Awareness Week, the Hopewell Township Health Department will be sharing important information on social media about how individuals can reduce their exposure to pollutants and improve their overall health. It is recommended that people reduce outdoor exposure when the Air Quality Index (AQI) indicates unhealthy conditions.
The Hopewell Township Health Department encourages everyone in the community to take part in this important week and learn more about how they can protect themselves and their loved ones from harmful pollutants in our environment.
