There are many countries with real-time Air Quality data inventoried on aqicn.org.

If you live in a country or region not yet inventoried, and you would like to see it as part of the monitoring coverage extension, then please send us an inquiry via the form below.

Air Quality monitoring is not a simple thing, and there are existing criteria and standards for publishing data.

The equipment needed for monitoring Air Pollution is not only expensive (at least $10K per monitor) but also requires professional knowledge for their setup and maintenance - and that's a full time job.

For this reason, managing country, region or city level monitoring network is usually done by government representatives (usually linked to the environmental ministry) or by institutions certified by the government for doing so (for instance the EPA is US).

Fortunately, now days, it is possible to find much more affordable Air Quality monitors, as low as $100 per device, such as the GAIA air quality monitoring stations. The Air quality monitors are not only affordable, but also very simple to setup, and and do not required specialized skills to be operated.

This is where the World Air Quality Index project can help. If you are living in such a country and would like to setup some of those affordable air quality monitoring device, and see the real-time Air Quality data reported published on the aqicn.org and waqi.info maps, then send us a message now.

AQI	Air Pollution Level	Health Implications	Cautionary Statement (for PM2.5)
0 - 50	Good	Air quality is considered satisfactory, and air pollution poses little or no risk	None
51 -100	Moderate	Air quality is acceptable; however, for some pollutants there may be a moderate health concern for a very small number of people who are unusually sensitive to air pollution.	Active children and adults, and people with respiratory disease, such as asthma, should limit prolonged outdoor exertion.
101-150	Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups	Members of sensitive groups may experience health effects. The general public is not likely to be affected.	Active children and adults, and people with respiratory disease, such as asthma, should limit prolonged outdoor exertion.
151-200	Unhealthy	Everyone may begin to experience health effects; members of sensitive groups may experience more serious health effects	Active children and adults, and people with respiratory disease, such as asthma, should avoid prolonged outdoor exertion; everyone else, especially children, should limit prolonged outdoor exertion
201-300	Very Unhealthy	Health warnings of emergency conditions. The entire population is more likely to be affected.	Active children and adults, and people with respiratory disease, such as asthma, should avoid all outdoor exertion; everyone else, especially children, should limit outdoor exertion.
300+	Hazardous	Health alert: everyone may experience more serious health effects	Everyone should avoid all outdoor exertion
