The presence of air quality monitors and instruments is one of the key indicators in assessing the capacity of air quality management (AQM) of a city. However, having an air quality monitoring in place does not equate to having accurate data. Sharing unsorted raw data publicly must be refrained as this can lead to confusion or panic or create a false sense of security. Proper quality assurance (QA...

There are several considerations in designing and developing a monitoring network for air quality management (AQM). The two factors that this document will focus on include: (1) guiding the user on the specific aspects of proper siting to answer the question ‘where to measure’, and (2) the minimum number of stations to be operated based on existing guidelines and best practice. This document summa...

The Guidance Framework is a voluntary and non-binding guidance document developed as an outcome of the biennial Governmental Meetings on Urban Air Quality in Asia, co-organized by Clean Air Asia and United Nations Environment Programme Regional Office for Asia Pacific (UNEP ROAP). It is an outcome of an extensive development process, which began in 2006 when the Long Term Vision for Urban Air Qual...

This guide provides advice on how to design, fund, implement, analyze, and leverage data from a hyperlocal air quality monitoring network, so you can develop solutions to improve health in your community....

This manual is designed for influencer groups like local organisations, academic institutions, media, civil society and non-government organisations who play a role in cities to advocate the use of data on air quality for establishing policy frameworks for air quality monitoring.

The 2012 amendments to the Protocol to Abate Acidification, Eutrophication and Ground-level Ozone (Gothenburg Protocol) to the Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution not only introduce commitments for Parties to reduce emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), but also mandatory emission limit values for different activities in annexes VI and XI to the Protocol and the establis...

The Airborne and Satellite Investigation of Asian Air Quality (ASIA-AQ) is an international cooperative field study designed to address local air quality challenges. Specifically, ASIA-AQ will contribute to improving the integration of satellite observations with existing air quality ground monitoring and modeling efforts across Asia. Satellite air quality observations are evolving with new capabi...

The Ambient Monitoring Technology Information Center (AMTIC) provides information on air monitoring programs and methods, quality assurance and control procedures, and federal regulations....

The South African Air Quality Information System (SAAQIS) website provides real-time air quality data and information across South Africa. It serves as a resource for the public, researchers, and policymakers to access air quality monitoring data, reports, and educational materials. The platform aims to enhance awareness and support efforts to manage and improve air quality in the country....

The airquality.lk platform was developed with support from various partners and technical experts to raise awareness about air quality and its importance. It aims to help people take precautions against air pollution and is working to expand its sensor network to provide more comprehensive air quality data across Sri Lanka. The platform is dedicated to bridging the significant gap in air quality d...
