About the AQHI:
The Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) is a scale that helps one examine the relationship between air quality and health. An individual can utilize the AQHI to make decisions about his or her exposure to air pollution by modifying the time spent outdoors.
Pollutants measured include: Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), Particulate Matter (PM2.5/PM10), and Ozone (O3).
The AQHI is updated hourly and includes data for the day in which you are looking at the AQHI, the night of, and the next day.
