Talk:Air quality index

More details on how the air quality index is Calculated Needed?--Sfitzsi (talk) 15:44, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
It might be useful to add more details concerning the air quality index for ozone. In the US, for 8 hour average ozone, with concentration in units of ppbv, the breakpoints table is:


 * I believe this information was provided earlier, as well as Canadian levels, but has been taken out. It is extremely salient, because US levels were changed in 2008 under Bush, and are under further scientific consideration now.


 * The values shown above for the US seem to be as proposed by the EPA, not as currently effective.

Unused reference
The following book was cited in the Europe section, but the prose content of the Europe section that claimed to use this was all copy/pasted content from airqualitynow.eu - so it's not clear what information supposedly came from the book: If someone has access to it, feel free to restore the reference and use information from it, not text from it. It sounds like it might be quite out of date, however - 15 years' old. Boud (talk) 23:47, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

EAQI
The Europe section now has a lot about the CAQI, but only one sentence about the EAQI, which was defined more recently. A good TODO task would be to add info for the EAQI. Boud (talk) 01:01, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
