This is a small contribution form the World Air Quality Index project to the ASMC - ASEAN Specialised Meteorological Centre (asmc.asean.org) during this heavy period of Haze in South Asia.
We have updated our tile map webservice based on the PM10 raw concentration color scale defined on asmc-haze-air-quality page. This service can be used to overlay the current PM10 concentration on any existing map (eg google map - see example below).
The color codes on this map correspond to the ASEAN PM10 color scale.
LEGEND:
(ug/m3) Air Quality Description | Good | Moderate | Unhealhty | Very Unhealhty | Hazardous | Data not available | |
Note: For all countries except Malaysia and Brunei, the data is based on the 24-hour PM10 average. For Malaysia and Brunei, the data is based on the 24 hours[1] PSI average which is most likely caused by PM10 in this period of haze.
To add the tile overlay to a google map, you jsut need to add the following code: (You can also refer to this article for a full explanation)
<script>
var waqiMapOverlay = new google.maps.ImageMapType({
getTileUrl: function(coord, zoom) {
return 'https://tiles.waqi.info/tiles/asean-pm10/' + zoom + "/" + coord.x + "/" + coord.y + ".png";
},
name: "Asean PM10 concentration",
});
googleMap.overlayMapTypes.insertAt(0, waqiMapOverlay);
</script>
