Big difference to yesterday.

How is the composite AQI calculated?

[Yom]

Good question, VocalNeal.

I'm not happy with this table, but you might check it yourself:

Another good read:

Some screenshots?

[VocalNeal]

It looks somewhat obtuse and something we have to believe because the boffins say so?

I_p =  [(I_hi-I_low)/(BP_hi-BP_low)] (C_p-BP_low)+I_low,

 

 

 

 

[Yom]

It's not a question of believe.

Everyone should be able to read a PM2.5 meter.

Here and now - it shows between 25 and 30 ug/m3.

I think there are no other air pollutants to consider, 

so the AQI might be between 78 and 89.

OK?

By the way, a village nearby:  AQI 81

Phrae city(20km)  AQI  152-165

Lampang/Mae Moh isn't too far from Phrae,

Phayao, Chiang Rai, so I think this table

might be interesting for all.

# 4 another lignite fired power plant,

may be without correct filters.

while Nong Muang Khai shows an AQI of 315.  Mai pen rai, 280 or 315...
