Local air quality can affect our daily lives. Like the weather, it can change from day to day. EPA developed the Air Quality Index, or AQI, to make information available about the health effects of the five most common air pollutants, and how to avoid those effects. In the booklet, Air Quality Index A Guide to Air Quality and Your Health, you will find information about these common pollutants and the AQI.

He was also acknowledged as a crystallographer, molecular biologist, and medical researcher.Pauling is widely regarded as the premier chemist of the twentieth century.He pioneered the application of quantum mechanics to chemistry, and in 1954 was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry for his work describing the nature of chemical bonds.auling is widely regarded as the premier chemist of the twentieth century.

Has Anyone Won Two or More Nobel Prizes? The Nobel Prize has been given since 1901 for achievements in Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature, Economics and Peace, and American chemist Linus Pauling is the only person to have won two or more Nobel prizes that he did not share with others. Pauling was given the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1954 and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1962. Polish chemist and physicist Marie Curie is the only woman to have two or more Nobel Prizes: in Physics in 1903, which she shared with her husband, Pierre Curie, and in Chemistry in 1911. The International Committee of the Red Cross has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize three times, in 1917, 1944 and 1963.
