FAQ
How is air quality measured here?
For most cities we use NASA's GEOS-CF forecast model, which estimates pollution over a grid of about 25 km. For Poland we show live readings from official monitoring stations.
What do the colours mean?
Green means pollution within WHO guidelines, yellow up to twice the guideline, orange up to four times and red more than that.
How often is the data updated?
The NASA forecast is refreshed once a day and each page picks the value for the current hour. Polish station readings arrive every 30 minutes.
Data: NASA GMAO GEOS-CF air quality forecast (Keller et al. 2021, Knowland et al. 2022).
