The Air Quality Index Report (AMP410) gives a view of the daily air quality in a particular area with the worst pollutants shown for each day listed. To do this the Air Quality Index (AQI) is used to determine which pollutants to display.
The report lists, for each date, the Descriptor, Pollutant, AQI and Site ID for the site with the highest AQI. It also lists the number of sites reporting for that pollutant and Duration Code. This is followed by a listing of one or more "Other Pollutants" that are reporting the next highest AQI values. No more than six of these other pollutants will be evaluated and presented.
In addition to providing a report suitable for printing or viewing online, a workfile may be generated that can be used to export the data to other data analysis or reporting tools. Air Quality Index Workfile format
