The AQI is a measurement of how much particulate matter, dangerous ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide there is in the world's atmosphere at any one time and place.

This World Map of AQI readings is a fascinating way to look at world areas and consider what needs to be changed.

Students learn about the scale of the AQI and research some of the contributors for many unhealthy locations.
