Air Quality Health Index

The Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) is a tool that informs the public about outdoor air quality and its potential health effects. It uses a scale from 1 to 10+, with lower values indicating better air quality and higher values signifying increased health risks, especially for sensitive groups like children and the elderly. The AQHI considers pollutants such as ozone, particulate matter, and nitrogen dioxide. By providing real-time information, it helps individuals make informed decisions about outdoor activities to protect their health, especially on days when air quality is poorer.
