Contributing to the World Air Quality Index project

Share: aqicn.org/contribute/kr/

The World Air Quality project might look like one of those big projects coming from big organizations... but it is actually just a small team of volunteers behind this project.

Our real motivation is to see the daily impact on the world citizens. One of the users told us one day that "worse than disinformation is the lack of information: I did not know that pollution was so bad ". That makes us proud to give this free information and promote pollution awareness 🙏.

❤️❤️❤️

We need help to get this project continue growing. If you would like to contribute to the World Air Quality Index project, send us a message, and let's together promote air pollution awarness and drive our little planet towards a pollution free planet 🙏.

Fundings

The World Air Quality project started in 2007 and, despite its expensive outreach, the project has never received any financial support from any of NGO nor from any government 🌸

The reason is no that we do not want to, but it just takes too much time to seek for funds. And this time we would use to seek funds, we need to spend it maintaining the website and platform instead. Maybe you can help us seek for funds?

For now, the project income comes online advertising. The income is just enough to cover for the cloud infrastructure costs. That means that, currently, all contributors must have a real job at the same time 🙏

How can I help?

The World Air Quality Index project might look big, but it is actually a small but motivated team behind it. There are still many things that the project team want to achieve:


Current contributions,
from 115 countries
  • Forecast: Improve exising forecast model or add new the forecast model to our forecast page.
  • Coverage: Increase world-wide air quality monitoring coverage, especially for Middle-East and Africa.
  • Documentation: Write explanatory articles about air pollution.
  • Translation: Provide translations for up to 100 languages.
  • Data Science: Provide free data over the whole historical records.
  • Consumer Product: Review air purfiers, air monitors, masks.
  • Engineering: Develop new applications and visualizations.
🌏🌎🌍

If you do not have time to contribute, but still would like to help and support our project, what about getting one of our cool GAIA air quality monitoring station? ☀️💨👌


Examples for articles:

  • Ultra fine particles (PM1) - are they more dangerous than PM2.5 and is it worth measuring them.
  • CO2 - is it an outdoor air pollutant, a climate warmer or an indoor pollutant?
  • Indoor Air Quality - what are the pollutant to be aware of?
  • Health effect of sulfur dioxide for area close to volcanic mountains

Examples of data-science:

  • Open Data Platform for accessign real-time and historical Air Quality Data
  • World Ensemble forecast modeling
  • Statistical and deep learning based data facts
  • Researching new accurate sensors for gas pollutants

Examples of engineering:

  • New visualization solutions for the real-time observations and forecast
  • API for accessing the real-time observations and forecast
  • Time travel Machine - for seeing the air quality at any day back in time
  • Applications for i-phone, etc..
