AQI Conversion Formula
| |
IHI - ILO |
|
| AQI = |
---------------- |
X (C03 - BPLO) + ILO |
| |
BPHI - BPLO |
|
AQI = Air Quality Index
ILO = Index Value at the Lower Limit of the AQI Category
IHI = Index Value at the Upper Limit of the AQI Category
BPLO = Break Point Conc. at the Lower Limit of the AQI Category
BPHI = Break Point Conc. at the Upper Limit of the AQI Category
C03 = 8-Hour Ozone Concentration
