AirNow-International – A Growing Community of Users Informing the Public about Air Quality
Organizers
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Objectives
This past June in Nairobi, the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) encouraged Governments and intergovernmental, regional and international organizations to make air quality data more easily accessible and understandable to the public and to share with the secretariat of the UNEP and member States the results and experiences of their efforts at the second session of the UNEA in 2016.
The AirNow-International (AirNow-I) system provides the public with information about the quality of the air they breathe through real-time Air Quality Index (AQI) observations and forecasts. The AirNow-I is based on the AirNow system operating in the US since 1997. This session will cover the following:
- Basic understanding of ANI system, its benefits and future;
- The ANI Community of Users and why you want to be part of this growing community;
- Community members sharing their experiences and future plans;
- Taking the first step to join this community
