City Forecast

Note: The colors used for PM2.5, PM10 and Ozone (O3) are based on the US EPA standard. The colors used for Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Sulphure Dioxide (SO2) and Carbon Monoxyde (CO) are based on an arbitrary color standard which best matches the concentration range. It does not have any relation with the AQI breakpoints, as in most cases, the AQI for those 3 gases is most often below 50.

Air Quality Forecasts Models

There are many forecast models, for different regions of the globe - below are few of them. Just click on any of them to see the animated map for the given model. For a full list of all forecast model and polutants, check the forecast/model page.

Please note that all above analysis are done on the World Air Quality Index (WAQI) project own budget.
We did not receive any subsidies from any of the intuitions publishing Air Quality forecast models.

Future Improvements

Cooperation needed!
Help is needed for keeping the world-wide Air Quality forecast model inventory up-to-date.

  • Do you know any model not listed below but for which gridded data is available?
  • Do you know better accuracy analysis solutions which should be used here?
  • Have you done a similar research and you would like to publish it here?

    If yes, let us know your email and we will contact you asap!
  • Disclaimer

    关于空气质量与空气污染指数

    本网站采用的污染指数和颜色与EPA是完全相同的。 EPA的指数可以从 AirNow上查到

    空气质量指数 空气质量指数级别(状况)及表示颜色 对健康影响情况 建议采取的措施
    0 - 50 一级(优) 空气质量令人满意,基本无空气污染 各类人群可正常活动
    51 -100 二级(良) 空气质量可接受,但某些污染物可能对极少数异常敏感人群健康有较弱影响 极少数异常敏感人群应减少户外活动
    101-150 三级(轻度污染) 易感人群症状有轻度加剧,健康人群出现刺激症状 儿童、老年人及心脏病、呼吸系统疾病患者应减少长时间、高强度的户外锻炼
    151-200 四级(中度污染) 进一步加剧易感人群症状,可能对健康人群心脏、呼吸系统有影响 儿童、老年人及心脏病、呼吸系统疾病患者避免长时间、高强度的户外锻炼,一般人群适量减少户外运动
    201-300 五级(重度污染) 心脏病和肺病患者症状显著加剧,运动耐受力降低,健康人群普遍出现症状 儿童、老年人及心脏病、肺病患者应停留在室内,停止户外运动,一般人群减少户外运动
    300+ 六级(严重污染) 健康人群运动耐受力降低,有明显强烈症状,提前出现某些疾病 儿童、老年人和病人应停留在室内,避免体力消耗,一般人群避免户外活动
