Marshall County, Mississippi air quality history
Daily Air Quality Index summaries from EPA monitors in Marshall, Mississippi, 2004–2005.
In 2004, EPA reported a daily Air Quality Index (AQI) for Marshall, Mississippi on 304 days. 243 of those days (80%) were in the Good range, and the median daily AQI was 38. That median is lower than the typical monitored county in Mississippi (median 46.5 across 14 counties), and lower than the typical monitored U.S. county (42). The main pollutant was ozone on 302 days.
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 (2005) are shown in the table but left out of comparisons and trend statements.

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.
