Contributing to the World Air Quality Index project

Share: aqicn.org/contribute/hk/

The World Air Quality Index project might look big, but it is actually a small but motivated team behind it. There are still many things that the project team want to achieve:


Current contributions,
from 115 countries
  • Coverage: Increase world-wide air quality monitoring coverage, especially for Middle-East and Africa.
  • Documentation: Write explanatory articles about air pollution.
  • Translation: Provide translations for up to 100 languages.
  • Data Science: Provide free data over the whole historical records.
  • Consumer Product: Review air purfiers, air monitors, masks.
  • Engineering: Develop new applications and visualizations.

Examples for articles:
  • Ultra fine particles (PM1) - are they more dangerous than PM2.5 and is it worth measuring them.
  • CO2 - is it an outdoor air pollutant, a climate warmer or an indoor pollutant?
  • Indoor Air Quality - what are the pollutant to be aware of?
  • Health effect of sulfur dioxide for area close to volcanic mountains
Examples of data-science:
  • Open Data Platform for accessign real-time and historical Air Quality Data
  • World Ensemble forecast modeling
  • Statistical and deep learning based data facts
  • Researching new accurate sensors for gas pollutants
Examples of engineering:
  • New visualization solutions for the real-time observations and forecast
  • API for accessing the real-time observations and forecast
  • Time travel Machine - for seeing the air quality at any day back in time
  • Applications for i-phone, etc..

As one can imagine, the current project team is just too small to be able to handle all of this work, and this is why we need help. Your help!

We do believe that the real motivation of the work we are doing is to see the daily impact on the world citizens. One of the users told us one day that "worse than disinformation is the lack of information: I did not know that pollution was so high. But now I know". That makes us proud to give this free information and promote pollution awareness.

If you would like to contribute to the World Air Quality Index project, then welcome to the team. Just send us a message, and let's together drive our planet toward a pollution free.

關於空氣質量與空氣污染指數

本網站採用的污染指數和顏色與EPA是完全相同的。 EPA的指數可以從 AirNow上查到

空气质量指数 空气质量指数级别(状况)及表示颜色 对健康影响情况 建议采取的措施
0 - 50 一级(优) 空气质量令人满意,基本无空气污染 各类人群可正常活动
51 -100 二级(良) 空气质量可接受,但某些污染物可能对极少数异常敏感人群健康有较弱影响 极少数异常敏感人群应减少户外活动
101-150 三级(轻度污染) 易感人群症状有轻度加剧,健康人群出现刺激症状 儿童、老年人及心脏病、呼吸系统疾病患者应减少长时间、高强度的户外锻炼
151-200 四级(中度污染) 进一步加剧易感人群症状,可能对健康人群心脏、呼吸系统有影响 儿童、老年人及心脏病、呼吸系统疾病患者避免长时间、高强度的户外锻炼,一般人群适量减少户外运动
201-300 五级(重度污染) 心脏病和肺病患者症状显著加剧,运动耐受力降低,健康人群普遍出现症状 儿童、老年人及心脏病、肺病患者应停留在室内,停止户外运动,一般人群减少户外运动
300+ 六级(严重污染) 健康人群运动耐受力降低,有明显强烈症状,提前出现某些疾病 儿童、老年人和病人应停留在室内,避免体力消耗,一般人群避免户外活动
