Remarks:
(1) The AAQI is updated monthly. The AAQI is calculated based on validated monitoring data.
(2) An AAQI greater than one indicates that the health risk resulted from long-term exposure is higher than that of the WHO's annual AQG, whereas an index below one means a lower risk.
(3) WHO’s annual AQG (2006):
