Air Quality

The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission has issued an air quality alert for the central Ohio region, including Franklin, Delaware, Fairfield, and Licking counties.

For the first time since air quality record-keeping began in 1980, no Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups Air Quality Index days for ozone were observed during the ozone forecast season. The air quality was studied from November 2020 to October 2021.

After a year of improved air quality due at least in part to fewer cars and trucks on Central Ohio roads, the region is once again seeing air pollution tick back up as people emerge from pandemic-related restrictions.
