Skagway-Hoonah-Angoon, Alaska air quality history
Daily Air Quality Index summaries from EPA monitors in Skagway-Hoonah-Angoon, Alaska, 2004–2005.
In 2005, EPA reported a daily Air Quality Index (AQI) for Skagway-Hoonah-Angoon, Alaska on 29 days. 29 of those days (100%) were in the Good range, and the median daily AQI was 15. That median is lower than the typical monitored county in Alaska (median 27 across 5 counties), and lower than the typical monitored U.S. county (44). The main pollutant was fine particles (PM2.5) on 29 days.
EPA did not report an AQI for every day of 2005 here (29 of 365 days). Figures describe monitored days only; seasonal monitoring (for example, ozone measured only in warmer months) can make a county look cleaner or dirtier than a full-year record would.
The most recent year with data for this county is 2005; EPA's files for 2006–2025 contain no row for it, which usually means its monitors stopped reporting.
Years with fewer than 120 monitored days (2004, 2005) are shown in the table but left out of comparisons and trend statements.

|---|---|---|
| Fine particles (PM2.5) | 29 | 100% |

What this data can and can’t tell you
It is a county-level summary. EPA reports one AQI per day for the county, based on the monitors operating there. Air at a particular street, school or home can differ, especially near roads, industry or wildfire smoke.
It is not a health assessment. The AQI is EPA’s scale for communicating daily air quality. A county’s history can’t tell you what the health risk is for any particular person. For daily conditions and health guidance, see AirNow.
Rules change over time. EPA has revised AQI breakpoints, most recently for fine particles in 2024, so some year-to-year change can reflect the scale rather than the air.
