Daily Air Quality Index
The UK-AIR Daily Air Quality Index (DAQI) tells you about levels of air pollution and provides recommended actions and health advice. The index is numbered 1-10 and divided into four bands: Low (1-3), Moderate (4-6), High (7-9), Very High (10). The index aims to provide detail about air pollution levels in a simple way, similar to the sun index or pollen index.
