Since the begining, the World Air Quality Index (WAQI) project team has always been keen on providing a transparent Air Qualitty Infomration to the world citizens.
The WAQI project has also always been keen on providing historical Air Quality Data to relevant institutions and organizations working in the area of environmental awareness, air quality monitoring, as well as health and epidemiological studies. Here are few of our partners and colleagues to which we have been providing historical air quality data information:

In order to make the historical Air Quality Data dissemination even more relevant, the World Air Quality Index team has been investigating with the most relevant international institutions the possibility to setup an open data framework. Here are fews of the institutions we have engaged:

• WHO - World Health Organization
• UNEP - United Nation Environmental Program
• UNIDO - United Nation Industrial Development Organization
• WMO - World Meteorological Organization
• GEO - Group on Earth Observations
• WRI - World Resource Institute
• CCA - Climate & Clean Air Coalition

The open data framework objective is to provide unlimited and free access the world historical and real-time Air Quality data from the 100+ countries covered on aqicn.org Everyone - both institutions as well as citizens - agrees that this is not only a good idea, but that it should *just* happen.

The daily average air quality data for all of the stations can be downloaded freely from the form below. Note that all the figures are converted to AQI using the US EPA standard: i.e. we do not publish the raw concentrations, but only the AQI.

Notes:
The Air Quality data is currently only available for the past 7 years, from 2014 until now. If you need data before this period, we recommend to either contact the originating EPA, or consider using estimates based on remote sensing data (WHO).

In the above data, we publish the "Individual pollutant" Air Quality index. For instance, if you check the figures for PM_2.5, they correspond to the PM_2.5 individual AQI (noted as AQI_PM2.5). If you want to calculate the overall AQI, aka composite AQI, you need to take the maximum of all individual AQI:

AQI = max( AQI_PM2.5, AQI_PM10, AQI_O3, ...)
Last if you need the real-time data instead, try the API page. It's free too!

If the above data does not work for you, and you are from an international institution, organization or university you can register your interest with the form below. Note that this registration is only at intent level, for us to consolidate the list of all interested parties, and does not bound you, nor the world air quality index project, to any obligations.

Tell us a bit more

Write few words about your request - eg: "I would like to get the daily max AQI for Berlin for Winter 2014", "I would like to know the hourly concentration of SO2 for Civil Lines in Delhi on June 18th 2015", "I would like to support your project and give you hand", ..

The open data framework would not be possible without the work from the worldwide EPA, which should get the credits for their monitoring programs.

대기질 지수 단계에 대하여

AQI	지수구분	구간의미
0 - 50	좋음	대기오염 관련 질환자군에서도 영향이 유발되지 않을 수준
51 -100	보통	환자군에게 만성 노출시 경미한 영향이 유발될 수 있는 수준
101-150	민감군영향	환자군 및 민감군에게 유해한 영향이 유발될 수 있는 수준
151-200	나쁨	환자군 및 민감군(어린이, 노약자 등)에게 유해한 영향 유발, 일반인도 건강상 불쾌감을 경험할 수 있는 수준
201-300	매우나쁨	환자군 및 민감군에게 급성 노출시 심각한 영향 유발, 일반인도 약한 영향이 유발될 수 있는 수준
300+	위험	환자군 및 민감군에게 응급 조치가 발생되거나, 일반인에게 유해한 영향이 유발될 수 있는 수준
