Philippines AQI App is the official mobile app of the Environmental Management Bureau – Central Office(EMB-CO) under the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), that aims to monitor the air quality / air pollution across various air quality monitoring stations in the Philippines (Nationwide).
Features:
* Compute/Calculate Air Quality Index (AQI) of Air Quality Monitoring Stations for the following Pollutants:
1.) Particulate Matter 10 (PM10)
/ 24 Hour Ave. (Concentration) / Based: R.A. 8749 (Clean Air Act)
2.) Particulate Matter 2.5 (PM2.5) / 24 Hour Ave. (Concentration) / Based: R.A. 8749 (U.S. EPA)
3.) Carbon Monoxide (CO)
/ 8 Hour Ave. (Concentration) / Based: R.A. 8749 (Clean Air Act)
4.) Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) / / 24 Hour Ave. (Concentration) / Based: R.A. 8749 (Clean Air Act)
5.) OZONE (O3) / 8 Hour Ave. (Concentration) / Based: R.A. 8749 (Clean Air Act)
6.) Nitrogen Dioxide (N02) / Hourly Ave.
/ Based: R.A. 8749 (Clean Air Act)
* Identify and categorize level of health concerns based on the computed Air Quality Index (AQI) with cautionary
statement to the general public and with the corresponding color code:
Level of Health Concern / Color / Cautionary Statement
1.) Good / Green / None
2.) Fair / Yellow / None
3.) Unhealthy for Sensitive / Orange / People with respiratory disease, such as asthma, should Groups limit outdoor exertion.
4.) Very Unhealthy / Red / Pedestrians should avoid heavy traffic areas. People with heart or respiratory disease, such as asthma, should stay indoors and rest as much as possible. Unnecessary trips should be postponed. People should voluntarily restrict the use of vehicles.
5.) Acutely Unhealthy / Purple / People, should limit outdoor exertion. People with heart or respiratory disease, such as asthma, should stay indoors and rest as much as possible. Unnecessary trips should be postponed. Motor vehicle use may be restricted. Industrial activities may be curtailed.
6.) Emergency / Maroon / Everyone should remain indoors, (keeping windows and Doors closed unless heat stress is possible). Motor vehicle use should be prohibited except for emergency situations. Industrial activities, except that which is vital for public safety and health, should be curtailed.
* Display the following Meteorological data on an hourly basis:
Temperature (Degrees Celsius)
Humidity
Display 24 hours visualization/graphs of the computed AQI and other environment substance for comparative analysis/report
