The scale and thresholds are based on the U.S. EPA standards at airnow.gov

The data used by this application comes from the U.S. Embassy via Twitter feed - BeijingAir. The description at Twitter indicates that the data comes from a MetOne BAM 1020 particle monitor located in NE Chaoyang District. We sometimes see "missed" hours each day (from 1 to multiple days) where the data we retrieve is empty. This is normal...please be patient.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. We are not responsible for any bad decisions you make by using data from this application. Because the data is provided by an anonymous 3rd party (not involved with this application), we can make no guarantee of quality, accuracy, stability, update frequency or future existence of this data. Also note that these numbers may be different than other numbers reported by government agencies whose monotoring stations are located in different parts of the city.
