Understanding the Indices
Any index-related sensor will have a value between 0.0 and 12.0. The values map to the following human-friendly ratings:
| Range | Rating |
|---|---|
| 0.0 - 2.4 | Low |
| 2.5 - 4.8 | Low/Medium |
| 4.9 - 7.2 | Medium |
| 7.3 - 9.6 | Medium/High |
| 9.7 - 12.0 | High |
Understanding Asthma Allergens
Several asthma-related sensors carry information regarding the top three “asthma allergens” (i.e., irritants that may exacerbate asthma symptoms). Example values include:
| Pollutant | Symbol | More Info |
|---|---|---|
| Particulate (<= 2.5 μm) | PM2.5 | EPA: Particulate Matter (PM) Pollution |
| Particulate (<= 10 μm) | PM10 | EPA: Particulate Matter (PM) Pollution |
| Ozone | O | EPA: Ozone Pollution |
| Sulfur Dioxide | SO2 | EPA: Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Pollution |
| Carbon Monoxide | CO | EPA: Carbon Monoxide (CO) Pollution in Outdoor Air |
