Parameter
Measuring unit
What it means
PM2.5
Particulate matter < 2.5um (ug/m3)
Atmospheric PM2.5 is often suspended in the air for a longer duration than other pollutants. It can exacerbate respiratory issues as it penetrates into the lungs.
PM10
Particulate matter < 10um (ug/m3)
Atmospheric PM10 is denser than PM2.5 and causes breathing issues when inhaled in high concentrations. It originates from fuel and coal burning.
SO2
Sulphur dioxide conc (ppb)
SO2 is one of the major criteria for air pollutants that is emitted from coal, oil, and diesel-burning.
NO2
Nitrogen dioxide conc (ppb)
NO2 is one of the highly reactive gases known as oxides of nitrogen or nitrogen oxide. Breathing a high concentration of
NO2 can irritate airways and aggravate respiratory diseases.
NO2 can irritate airways and aggravate respiratory diseases.
O3
OZONE conc (ppb)
Ozone is composed of three molecules of oxygen. It exacerbates the smog effect and is harmful to the lungs as it mixes with other toxic pollutants.
CO
CO
CO
Carbon monoxide conc (ppm)
CO is a toxic air pollutant often found in excess in areas where exhaust fumes and smoke are high. It is harmful to health as it binds itself to hemoglobin found in the blood.
AQI
Air quality index
AQI ranges from 0 to 500 under normal circumstances, where 0 is good, and 500 is the high level of pollution.
AQI redefined through proprietary technology
Granularity
20+ years of historical AQI data available in street-level granularity at an hourly frequency.
International compliance

What is historical air quality data?
Historical air quality data refers to information collected over time about the level of various pollutants in the air. This data is typically gathered through air quality monitoring stations located throughout a given region. Historical air quality data can be used to identify trends in pollution levels, measure the effectiveness of pollution control efforts, and inform policy decisions related to air quality.
How is historical AQI data collected and analyzed?
Historical AQI (Air Quality Index) data is typically collected and analyzed through air quality monitoring stations that are located throughout a given region. These monitoring stations collect data on various air pollutants. The data collected is then used to calculate the AQI for each pollutant, as well as an overall AQI for the region. At Ambee, we utilze a multimodal system to collecting and analyzing AQI data. We combine the data collected from our proprietary on-ground sensors with satellite data, computer models, and other sources of information to provide a more complete picture of air quality trends over time. This data is then processed via AI and ML technologies to provide the most accurate result.
How does air quality affect our health?
Air quality can have significant impacts on our health. Exposure to air pollution, which contains harmful particles and gases, can lead to a range of health problems, both short-term and long-term. Short-term effects of air pollution exposure can include irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. It can also aggravate existing conditions such as asthma and allergies, causing symptoms such as coughing and wheezing. Long-term exposure to air pollution has been linked to more serious health problems, including chronic respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer, and heart disease.
How accurate is Ambee's historical air quality data?
Ambee’s hyperlocal historical AQ data is scientifically validated and designed by best-in-class developers to exceed industry standards. Ambee’s AI models and machine learning algorithms help provide the data with the highest accuracy.
Can historical AQI collected for a specific location?
Yes, historical AQI data can be collected for a specific location. Air quality monitoring stations are typically set up in various locations to measure pollutant concentrations in the air at that location. Additional data from satellite also help in improving the coverage.
