An innovative approach for determination of air quality health index. [PDF]
Sci Total Environ, 2015 Fuzzy-analytical hierarchical process (F-AHP) can be extended to determine fuzzy air quality health index (FAQHI) for deducing health risk associated with local air pollution levels, and subjective parameters. The present work aims at determining FAQHI by considering five air pollutant parameters (SO2, NO2, O3, CO, and PM10) and three subjective ...

Development of the National Air Quality Health Index - China, 2013-2018. [PDF]
China CDC Wkly, 2021 What is already known about this topic? While the establishment of an air quality health index (AQHI) in some countries yielded positive outcomes in communicating health risks of air pollution, China lagged behind in developing its own AQHI. Several research studies of AQHI were conducted in China, but this scientific research has not yet been applied ...

Demystifying the air quality health index. [PDF]
Can Pharm J (Ott), 2014 Air quality can be measured by 2 methods—first, by estimating the amount of emission from pollutant sources and, more accurately, by estimating the amount of pollutants in the air. Air quality can fluctuate seasonally, by time of day, by location and by changing weather conditions.1-4 The Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) is a national, simplified ...

Discrete-Time Markov Chain Modelling of the Ontario Air Quality Health Index. [PDF]
Water Air Soil Pollut, 2021 The Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) is an aggregate indicator of air pollution used to communicate to Canadians the health impact of short-term exposure to current air pollutant levels. Understanding the stochastic behaviour of the AQHI can aid public health officials in predicting air pollution levels, determining the likelihood and duration of air ...
