Average aerosol optical depth (AOD) for the months of May and June in 2015 in Oregon and Washington, derived from MODIS data. Orange represents higher aerosol concentrations whereas purple represents areas with lower aerosol concentrations. The AOD averages show higher observed AOD along the coasts of Oregon and Washington.

2022 imagery of 95th percentile Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) data from Terra/Aqua MODIS mapped against social vulnerability data from the EPA's EJScreen within the San Joaquin Valley's census tracts. Pink indicates higher levels of at-risk populations, and blue indicates higher levels of AOD. Darker shades of blue and purple indicate an overlap of high levels of air pollution and high at-risk population.
