Java AQI Calculator

Maven Central Build Status CodeFactor BCH compliance

Are you also looking for Node version ? npm version

Foreword

All formulas, constraints, and messages use in this project follows US EPA AQI Calculation Guideline and Regulations (which includes breakpoint table and calculation formulas) . Since each country issues different AQI calculation methods, using this package might be inappropriate, consider your usage.

This project is intended to community target for free use. The author is not associated with USA government, nor United States Environmental Protection Agency (a.k.a US EPA)

Highlights

  • Calculate AQI from raw concentration
  • The result from calculation includes Air Quality Index, Category, Color, Sensitive Groups of the pollutant and the corresponding Health Effects Statements and Cautionary Statements messages.
  • Support NowCast Concentration
  • You need to get messages in another language ? AQI Calculator now allows customizable messages at your own need.

Support The Following Pollutants

Pollutant Scientific name Unit of Measurement Sensitive Groups Regular Calculation Support NowCast Support Health Effects Statements Cautionary Statements
PM10 10 μm Particle Pollutant μg/m3 ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️
PM2.5 2.5 μm Particle Pollutant μg/m3 ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️
O3 Ozone ppb ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️
CO Carbon Monoxide ppb ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️
SO2 Sulfur Dioxide ppb ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️

Using Plug-n-play jar file:

Grab the target jar in target-jar folder and add the jar to your project.

Quick Usage

For Regular AQI Calculation

Using AQIResult Object:
AQICalculator calculator = AQICalculator.getAQICalculatorInstance();
AQIResult result = calculator.getAQI(Pollutant.PM10, 99);

Now AQIResult store all the related information that you might need, query them by the following methods

  • The Air Quality Index (AQI)

result.getAQI();

73

  • The Concentration result.getConcentration();

For NowCast calculation, this will be the NowCast Concentration

99.0

  • The AQI Category result.getCategory();

Moderate

  • The color of this index result.getColor()

Yellow

  • The meaning of of this index result.getMeaning()

Air quality is acceptable; however, for some pollutants there may be a moderate health concern for a very small number of people who are unusually sensitive to air pollution

  • The sensitive groups of this pollutant result.getSensitiveGroups()

People with respiratory disease are the group most at risk

  • The health effects statements result.getHealthEffectsStatements();

Respiratory symptoms possible in unusually sensitive individuals; possible aggravation of heart or lung disease in people with cardiopulmonary disease and older adults

  • The cautionary statements

result.getCautionaryStatements();

Unusually sensitive people should consider reducing prolonged or heavy exertion

For NowCast AQI Calculation

/* Example Data for NowCast PM10 12h period - 64, 63, 72, 77, 65, 61, 70, 71, 64, 57, 58, 64 */
AQICalculator calculator = AQICalculator.getAQICalculatorInstance();

double[] data = { 64, 63, 72, 77, 65, 61, 70, 71, 64, 57, 58, 64 };
AQIResult result = calculator.getNowCastAQI(Pollutant.PM10, data);
System.out.println(result.getAQI());

57

The first value in the array is the avg value in the current hour, and each next element in the array represent the previous data of the hour before current hour.

If the hour doesn't have data, replace missing data in the hour with -1

Example NowCast Dataset for PM10: (have some missing data in hour)
Hour Avg Concentration
14 64 ppb
13 63 ppb
12 ----
11 77 ppb
10 65 ppb
9 ----
8 70 ppb
7 71 ppb
6 ----
5 57 ppb
4 58 ppb
3 64 ppb

Presume that you want to calculate NowCast AQI for PM10 at 14, the data array should be

double[] data = { 64, 63, -1, 77, 65, -1, 70, 71, -1, 57, 58, 64 };`
AQIResult result = calculator.getNowCastAQI(Pollutant.PM10, data);
result.getAQI();

56

Customize AQI Messages

The default text from AQI result is in English. However, you can easily override these messages in your own language. Just download the template files and make change on your own

Allowed customized messages resources:

  • General Messages
  • Sensitive Groups
  • Specific Messages

Example: Override with custom AQI message in German language. Simply done by enable custom message mode, and provide any of the override files path from your project classpath. Sample Settings

AQICalculator calculator = AQICalculator.getAQICalculatorInstance();

AQICustomSettings mySettings = new AQICustomSettings()
	.withCustomMessagesMode(true)
	.withGeneralMessageResourcePath("AQIResource/custom-aqi-general-messages_de.json")
	.withSensitiveGroupsResourcePath("AQIResource/custom-aqi-sensitive-groups_de.json")
	.withSpecificMessageResourcePath("AQIResource/custom-aqi-specific-messages_de.json");
calculator.applyCustomSettings(mySettings);

AQIResult aqiResult = calculator.getAQI(Pollutant.PM10, 99);
System.out.println(aqiResult.getCategory());
System.out.println(aqiResult.getMeaning());
System.out.println(aqiResult.getSensitiveGroups());
System.out.println(aqiResult.getHealthEffectsStatements());
System.out.println(aqiResult.getCautionaryStatements());

Outcome

Mäßig
Luftqualität ist akzeptabel; Bei einigen Schadstoffen kann es jedoch zu einer mäßigen Gesundheitsgefährdung für eine sehr kleine Anzahl von Personen kommen, die ungewöhnlich empfindlich auf Luftverschmutzung reagieren
Am stärksten gefährdet sind Menschen mit Atemwegserkrankungen
Atmungssymptome bei ungewöhnlich empfindlichen Personen möglich; Mögliche Verschlimmerung von Herz- oder Lungenerkrankungen bei Personen mit kardiopulmonaler Erkrankung und älteren Erwachsenen
Ungewöhnlich sensible Menschen sollten in Betracht ziehen, längere oder schwere Belastungen zu reduzieren

I'm not familiar with German, these messages is just the copy-paste result from Google Translate 🐑

AQI Calculator as a standalone app

There is a AQI Calculator Spring Boot project built upon this library to make it easy to get it up and running

As Docker container

Fear of Java, Spring Boot, or maybe you're just too lazy to install them.
With Docker, it's super easy to get the container up and running without installing Java on your local machine. You don't need to know Java or Spring
Give it a go:

docker pull thanglequoc/aqi-calculator-spring-boot:latest

The container application port is 8080, you will need to map your host port to the port 8080 of the container

Run the container with a specified port on your machine (e.g: 8080) to the application port 8080

docker run --name=aqi-calculator -p 8080:8080 thanglequoc/aqi-calculator-spring-boot

As Spring Boot project

Checkout this AQI Calculator Spring Boot repository and run it

See the document of AQI Calculator Spring Boot repo for API usage

Calculation Formula

The AQI is the highest value calculated for each pollutant as follows:

  1. Identify the highest concentration among all of the monitors within each reporting area and truncate as follows:

2017_07_20_15_27_19

  1. Using US EPA AQI Breakpoint, find the two breakpoints that contain the concentration.
  2. Using AQI Equation , calculate the index.
  3. Round the index to the nearest integer.

NowCast for PM and Ozone

The concentration of PM10, PM2.5 is so dynamic since wind can completely clean the air in less than 30 minutes, or a wildfire can raise the concentration with a very fast rate in an hour. So NowCast is introduced, it mainly focus on detect the average changing of the period hour and perform counter balancing.

Handling Missing data

To compute a valid NowCast, you must have at least two of the most recent 3 hours
