The Air Quality Index can help you decide when the air quality is good or dangerous. The scale ranges from 0 to 500 and has six color-coded categories to correspond to a different level of health concern, according to AirNow.gov.
In order to address this situation, the legal status of small-scale farming communities needs to be established. The Indonesian government regard slash and burn as a crime against humanity. Out of Indonesia’s 472 million acres of land, 75 per cent is classified as “State Forest Land” which...
Meanwhile, alternative sources of increasing energy supply with lower air pollution impacts are also under development, including a large-scale wind farm. With a 58 million euro contribution from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development Bank (EBRD) confirmed in December 2019, the planned ...
The air quality index is a scale used to measure the amount of pollutants present in a specific region at a selected time interval. It is used to help assess the quality of air. What is a normal AQI? Any AQI value lower than 100 is categorized as normal since the pollutants at this ...
The newer AQHI takes into account the health effects and environmental concerns associated with varying concentrations of pollution, two factors the AQI does not. AQHI measures the impact of air quality on your health using a scale of 1-10, with 10 and up representing the highest risk. ...
Existing methods for fine-scale air quality assessment have significant gaps in their reliability. Purely data-driven methods lack any physically-based mechanisms to simulate the interactive process of air pollution, potentially leading to physically inc
Mobile monitoring can thought of as a preliminary step of any air pollution field study design because it enables preliminary exploration of fine-scale spatial variability within a neighborhood, providing confidence in placement of stationary air monitors. Several characteristics of mobile monitoring facilit...
To convey the severity of ambient air pollution level to the public, air quality index (AQI) is used as a communication tool to reflect the concentrations of individual pollutants on a common scale. However, due to the enhanced air pollution control in recent years, air quality has improved,...
was partly explained by the significantly positive correlation betweenPrecandT. This also explains why the average concentration of the pollutants PM2.5, PM10, SO2, and NO2during June–September was lower than in other months46,47. Wind speed (W) did not show any marked relationship with the ...
and with this great demand comes the result that ever more pollution will be produced by the industry. The production of food on a large scale also pushes up the increase in farming demands, causing the opening of even more factories and fast production farms, furthermore all of this requires...
