Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I check the AQI at my location regularly?

Checking the AQI at your location helps you make informed decisions about outdoor activities, exercise timing, and when to use air purifiers. Air quality can vary significantly throughout the day and between neighborhoods, so real-time location-based monitoring gives you the most accurate information for your health.

How accurate is GPS-based AQI detection at my location?

GPS-based AQI detection uses your exact coordinates to pull data from the nearest air quality monitoring stations, typically within 1-5 miles. The accuracy depends on station density in your area. Urban areas usually have monitors every few miles, while rural areas may rely on regional data combined with weather patterns for estimates.

Can I check AQI at my location without sharing GPS data?

Yes! You can manually search for your city or neighborhood to get local AQI data without enabling GPS. However, GPS provides more precise readings for your exact location. We don't store or track your location data - it's only used momentarily to fetch your local air quality information.

What's the difference between city AQI and AQI at my specific location?

City AQI provides an average for the entire metropolitan area, while location-specific AQI considers your proximity to local pollution sources like highways, industrial areas, or parks. Your location's AQI can be 20-50 points different from the city average, especially near traffic corridors or green spaces.

How often should I check the AQI at my location?

Check AQI at your location before outdoor activities, exercise, or when planning your day. Air quality typically peaks during morning rush hour (7-9 AM) and evening (5-7 PM). If you have respiratory conditions, check 2-3 times daily. During wildfire season or high pollution events, check every few hours.
