The 2018 version of the WHO database contains results of ambient (outdoor) air pollution monitoring from almost 2700 towns and cities in 91 countries. Air quality in the database is represented by the annual mean concentration of particulate matter ( PM10 and PM2.5, i.e. particles smaller than 10 or 2.5 micrometers, respectively).
An air quality index (AQI) is an indicator developed by government agencies [ 1] to communicate to the public how polluted the air currently is or how polluted it is forecast to become. [ 2][ 3] As air pollution levels rise, so does the AQI, along with the associated public health risk. Children, the elderly and individuals with respiratory or ...

The AQI uses a scale that typically ranges from zero to 500 to denote air quality. If your area has an AQI of 50 or below, you're in a green zone. You should have good air quality and little or no ...
The EPA uses a formula to calculate AQI values — it doesn't simply add up the impact of each pollutant. The AQI uses a scale that typically ranges from zero to 500 to denote air quality. If your ...
Since 1999, the EPA has used the air quality index (AQI) to communicate air pollution risk to the public, on a scale from 0 to 500, with six levels from Good to Hazardous. [10] (The previous version was the Pollutant Standards Index (PSI), which did not incorporate PM2.5 and ozone standards.)
Google is updating its Nest Hub displays with a new feature that displays the air quality index (AQI), Android Central has reported. The feature will appear on the weather widget, showing a ...
An MIT study estimated that over 450 deaths annually in Utah are due to poor air quality. [7] Utah has had mixed responses to poor air quality. For example, from 2015 to 2016 the state offered up to a $1500 credit for clean fuel vehicles [8] However, in 2019 Utah began imposing an additional registration fee on clean fuel vehicles that will ...
