As team composition varies, there may be teams with many individuals who are sensitive to air pollution. If the AQI is orange, it is up to individual coaches to cancel game play. Coaches may reschedule a scrimmage match during their weekday practice. Air Quality Index The Air Quality Index (AQI) provides an indicator of how dangerous the air is to breathe based upon the measurement of various ground level pollutants, such as ozone and small particles (PM2.5). In areas where the AQI is not determined, measuring PM2.5 is a good substitute for determining the air quality. AQI colorsEPA has assigned a specific color to each AQI category to make it easier for people to understand quickly whether air pollution is reaching unhealthy levels in their communities. For example, the color orange means that conditions are "unhealthy for sensitive groups," while red means that conditions may be "unhealthy for everyone," and so on.
