香港與新加坡的空氣污染指標

香港的空氣污染指數 ( Air Pollution Index) (API)

香港空氣污染指數是香港空氣污染情況的一項指標，由香港環境保護署於1995年6月首次推出，作用是提供一個簡單的方法令大眾得悉香港空氣污染情況並作出適當措施，保障市民健康。

在1998年6月15日 空氣污染指數分為「一般空氣污染指數」和「路邊空氣污染指數」兩類。

香港空氣污染指數分為以下5級： 級別 指數 可能對健康的影響輕微0 - 25預料沒有影響。中等26 - 50預料對公眾沒有影響。偏高51 - 100預料不會有急性的健康影響，但如果長時間在這空氣污染水平中，可能引致慢性不良影響。甚高101 - 200患有心臟或呼吸系統疾病的人的健康狀況會輕微轉壞，而一般人士或會稍感不適。嚴重201 - 500患有心臟或呼吸系統疾病的人的病徵會明顯轉壞，
而一般人士普遍也會感到不適，包括眼睛不適、氣喘、咳嗽、痰多、喉痛等等。
Pollutant Standards Index (PSI)

The Pollutant Standards Index, or PSI, provides a uniform system of measuring pollution levels for the major air pollutants. It is based on a scale devised by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) to provide a way for broadcasts and newspapers to report air quality on a daily basis.

The PSI is reported as a number on a scale of 0 to 500 and is the air quality indicator.

These index figures enable the public to determine whether the air pollution levels in a particular location are good, unhealthy, hazardous or worse.

The PSI is used in a number of countries including the United States and Singapore.

However, since 1999, the United States EPA has replaced the Pollution Standards Index (PSI) with the Air Quality Index (AQI) to incorporate new PM2.5 and ozone standards.
