BreezoMeter uses an index called “AQHI (CA)”
We take the average of each pollutant type according to local government definitions.
A scientific formula is used to calculate the Canadian AQHI based on 3 different pollutants (PM2.5/PM10, O3 and NO2).
AQHI (CA) represents air quality levels according to the following health categories:
