[39] This index has ten points, which are further grouped into four bands: low, moderate, high and very high. Each of the bands comes with advice for at-risk groups and the general ...
The EPA uses a formula to calculate AQI values — it doesn't simply add up the impact of each pollutant. The AQI uses a scale that typically ranges from zero to 500 to denote air quality. If your ...

The AQHI provides a local air quality current value as well as a local air quality maximums forecast for today, tonight ...
And the subsequent Air Quality Index (AQI) measures the amount of pollution in the air on a 0-500 scale, with the higher number signaling a higher concentration of the following pollutants ...

Urban air quality index (AQI) values are computed by combining or comparing the concentrations of a "basket" of common air pollutants (typically ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and both fine and coarse particulates) to produce a single number on an easy-to-understand (and often colour-coded) scale.
