Description
Quantifying the effects of exposure to air pollution in terms of public health has become a critical component in policy discussion. WHO/Europe's software tool AirQ+ performs calculations that allow quantification of the health effects of exposure to air pollution, including estimates of the reduction in life expectancy, for the most significant air pollutants. AirQ+ is available in English, French, German, Russian and Spanish.
