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 |
