Why are we using Ads
on the World Air Quality Index project



✋ The World Air Quality Index project is a non-profit project started in 2007. Its mission is to promote air pollution awareness for citizens and provide a unified and world-wide air quality information. The real-time Air Quality information data is provided for free, and will always be free.

Despite its extensive outreach, the project has never received any financial support from any of NGO nor from any government🌸

The project income comes online advertising, but it is just enough to pay the cloud infrastructure. So, yes, all contributors are having a real job at the same time🙏

We need your help by activating the ads on aqicn.org. This is the income source that allows us to run the aqicn.org and waqi.info websites for free.

You can leave us a message here. Do not forget to indicate your email if you want an answer.
