indicating a notable hazard to human health when exposed year-round. While Pristina ranked as the world’s 30th most polluted city globally in the report, Pristina also emerged as the third most polluted capital within Europe, following ofSarajevo’s air quality(34.1 μg/m3) in Bosnia & Herze...
Hazard categories are defined based on estimated average annual PM2.5 concentration levels. “Unsafe” refers to PM2.5 concentrations over 5 μg/m3.“Hazardous” refers to PM2.5 concentrations over 35 μg/m3. Full size image Regionally disaggregating global exposure headcounts show that air ...
The Serbia air quality index assigns one of five colour-coded categories to a range of six measured key pollutants: sulphur dioxide (SO2), ozone (O3), carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). The colour-coded Serbia AQI categories range from...
Air Quality Index (AQI) is a tool to showcase air quality status. It converts the complex air quality data of various pollutants into a single number and colour. AQI has six categories of air quality. These are: Good, Satisfactory, Moderate, Poor, Very Poor, and Severe. Each of these ...
Rather than a Melbourne AQI number, the Victoria EPA instead communicates health hazard using ‘air quality categories’, where 0-50 indicates ‘Good’, and 300 and above indicates ‘Hazardous’ air quality. Victoria’s EPA also implements a range of initiatives aimed at reducing air pollution ...
implying that the employer need not carry out repeated air monitoring according to the European standard.10The next two categories for occupied spaces with notablecontaminant sourcescover the concentration range up to the OEL for a particularcontaminant. In the following four quality categories, numerica...
Major sources of particulate pollution are industries, power plants,incinerators, motor vehicles, construction activity, fires, and natural windblown dust. The size of the particles varies (PM2.5and PM10have an aerodynamic diameter smaller than 2.5 and 10μm respectively) and different categories have...
Satisfying indoor air quality in public environments has become essential in cities. In the present study, indoor PM2.5, CO2, NO2, SO2, nicotine, and BTEX have been assessed in 12 categories of public places. The highest average concentrations of PM2.5, NO2, and SO2 were obs...
Air quality in the reports is measured in three categories. The first category is clean or slightly polluted and the limit values for none of the pollutants are exceeded. The second group is for moderately polluted air and the limit values of pollutants are exceeded, but the tolerance values ...
Local ambient air quality is reported online using the air quality index (AQI), which communicates whether the relative air quality and air pollution level in a given area is healthy or unhealthy. Maps of local AQI values use color-coded air hazard levels (green, yellow, orange, red, purple...
