Technical Description
An air quality index (AQI) is a descriptive scale used to show how polluted the air is. There is little research on the health effects of air pollution in short time frames. This is why air quality indexes are typically only provided for time periods of an hour or longer. This method is effective when it comes to measuring outdoor air quality. But indoors is different, however – it is important to be notified as soon as possible when air quality deteriorates so that the users of the space can take direct and immediate action to remedy the situation. Concentrations of some air pollutants can be between 2 to 10 times higher indoors than outdoors.
