Make Air Quality Your Business
AirQ
is everyone’s business.
That’s why numerous companies, organizations, and government agencies across the Kansas City metropolitan area have joined together in the AirQ Workplace Initiative.
Partners in this initiative learn proactive actions that make the air healthier. Many of these actions also save time or money.
If employers and employees support the
AirQ initiative and take a few
simple steps in how and when they go about some of their
daily activities, Kansas City will make
great strides toward clearing the air and
reducing Ozone Alert days.
