How Ambee Calculates AQI
For Spokane
Harnessing
The proprietary models measure, process, and analyze data from over a dozen sources, processing terabytes of data every day to provide you with a reliable and accurate air quality map.
Spokane's air quality varies throughout the year. In general, Spokane has relatively good air quality compared to many other cities in the United States. However, during the summer months, when the risk of wildfires is high, the air quality in Spokane can deteriorate quickly. Wildfire smoke can cause unhealthy levels of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in the air, which can be harmful to people's health, especially for those with respiratory problems such as asthma or COPD.
You can check AQ for Spokane today in 3 ways:
1. Ambee’s AQ app that provides a good overview of the AQ levels.
2. Ambee’s AQ map can help you visualize the AQ levels and the parameters under it.
3. Ambee’s API dashboard to get the data in bulk for any of your use cases.
Like many areas in the U.S., the Spokane region is experiencing more unhealthy air quality days due to wildfires. Wildfire smoke is a complex mix of gases and particles. The microscopic particles can get into your eyes and lungs, causing minor to serious health effects.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the average air quality index (AQI) for Spokane County in 2020 was 41, which is considered "good" by EPA standards. This means that the air quality in Spokane is generally healthy for most individuals, with little or no health risk.
However, in recent times, Spokane has seen a rise in poor AQ levels mainly due to wildfires. During the summer months, when the risk of wildfires is high, the AQI in Spokane can deteriorate quickly, and the levels of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in the air can become unhealthy.
The air pollution levels in Spokane can rise due to several factors, including:
Wildfires: Wildfires are a significant source of air pollution in Spokane, especially during the summer months. Smoke from wildfires can carry fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and other pollutants, which can cause the air quality levels to rise.
Industrial and Transportation Emissions: Spokane has several industries that emit pollutants such as particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide. Vehicles on the road also emit pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and carbon monoxide.
Ambee uses a combination of technology and data to measure and analyze air quality. Ambee collects air quality data from various sources, including station data, satellites, and ground sensors. They use machine learning algorithms to clean and process the data to ensure accuracy.
Ambee’s hyperlocal AQ data is scientifically validated and designed by best-in-class developers to exceed industry standards. The data is a combination of multiple sources, and Ambee’s AI models and machine learning algorithms help provide the data with the highest accuracy.
