Question
Chapter 11, Problem 11.75PAE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The meaning when a smoggy day is considered “beyond index” should be mentioned and it should be stated whether a U.S. city ever recorded an AQI beyond index.
Concept introduction:
- The AQI is an index for reporting daily air quality. It states about the cleanliness of air and if polluted; related health effects of concern. The AQI focusses on health effects which may be experienced within a few hours or days after breathing polluted air. AQI is calculated for five major air pollutants. They are,
- Ground level ozone
- Particulate matter
- Carbon monoxide
- Sulfur dioxide
- Nitrogen dioxide
The scale of AQI ranges from 0 to 500 and higher the AQI value, higher the effects which can be caused due to air pollution.
Word smog is derived from a combination of words, “smoke and fog”.
Although the scale AQI scale in the USA is not applied to all other countries, the values can be according to the country.
