Share 234 20:17 Air Quality experiments on alternative sensors and prediction model Selecteer een taal▼ Share: Air Quality monitoring has existed since the 70's, and surprisingly, the equipement used nowdays is still based on the same technology as in the 70's, i.e Beta Attenation Monitors (aka BAM). Almost 50 years later, in 2014, the progress in technology is now allowing us to use new solutions to monitor the Air Quality, with a quality as good as the BAM monitors, but at a much more affordable cost. The World Air Quality Index project team is involved in understanding, assessing and verifying those new technologies, and this to ensure that they can realiably replace the more traditional BAM-based setups. In this page, you wil find the list of on-going, planned and concluded experiements. -- On-going experiments The Dylos Air Particule counter: Can it be used as a substitue of more expensive BAM monitors? A one-year long experiments on trying to correlate Dylos and BAM data in Beijing. Low-cost shinyei and samyoung Sensors: Low cost sensors are used in many of the 'Air Sensor Toys' appearing on Internet. But, can those ultra low-cost sensor provide any good information on air quality? Can any reliable AQI be deducted? Concluded experiments Deducting PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations from the Dylos monitor readings: An experiment to understand how to use the Dylos real-time readings to deduct, with high confidence, PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations. Estimating PM2.5 AQI when only PM10 sensors are available. Experimentation and real-time simulation applied for South Korea. Haier Air Box: A reverse engineering of the Haier AirBox air quality sensor for the smart home. Planned experiments Correlatation between PM10, PM2.5 and the local dust type. An extension of the PM2.5 AQI estimation from PM10 AQI experiment. The GFS Wind forecast: Is it really accurate? How do actual and predicted data differ? Predicting Air Quality: using the GFS wind forecast to predict Air Pollution flux -- If you too, you are an Air Quality enthusiast and are interested in joining the experiments, you can contact us or just simply use the discussion board below to propose new experiments, or enhancement to existing experiements. And if you are an organization or department with official Air Quality data that you would like to publish on aqicn.org, please refer to our publishing data guide. -- Read or publish comments (they rely on Disqus) About the Air Quality and Pollution Measurement: About the Air Quality Levels 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 To know more about Air Quality and Pollution, check the wikipedia Air Quality topic or the airnow guide to Air Quality and Your Health.
