| Finland - Ambient Air Quality Monitoring |
|
http://www.fmi.fi/research_air/air_4.html 
The Finnish Meteorological Institute is responsible for the national
background air quality monitoring in Finland. Their monitoring network
consists of twenty measurement stations in different parts of the
country. Monitoring measurements include a variety of sulfur and
nitrogen compounds, ozone, volatile organic compounds and heavy
metals, in addition to maintaining the monitoring and warning system
of tropospheric ozone concentrations.

This site presents information on daily ambient air concentrations
for carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3), sulfur dioxide (SO2),
nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and particulate matter (PM-10) monitored
in Tehran, Iran (overall and in twenty-two districts). The
information is presented as good, moderate, unhealthy, very
unhealthy, or hazardous, according to the Pollutant Standard
Index formerly used by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

| U.S. EPA's Air Quality Index (AQI) |
|
http://airnow.gov/index.cfm?action=aqibroch.index
The Air Quality Index (AQI) is an index for reporting daily air quality and associated short-term health effects. EPA calculates the AQI for five major air pollutants regulated by the Clean Air Act: ground-level ozone, particle pollution (also known as particulate matter), carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide. For each of these pollutants, EPA has established national air quality standards to protect public health.
