Air Quality Data

Air quality data measures the levels of pollutants like particulate matter (PM), ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere. It helps assess how clean or polluted the air is, which can impact health and the environment. Monitoring stations collect this data continuously, providing information used to inform the public, guide policy, and reduce health risks. Generally, lower pollutant levels indicate healthier air, while higher levels suggest potential health concerns, especially for sensitive groups like children, the elderly, and those with respiratory conditions.
