What is the Air Quality screen and how does it work?
The Air Quality screen lets you view the air quality of your region at a glance. The Body Smart connects to a partner service (AccuWeather) that specializes in weather forecasts for your location and displays the current day's Air Quality Index (AQI). The AQI is used by governments to detect and forecast pollutants in the air.
You will receive updated information depending on what time of day you take your weight measurement:
- From 6:00 am to 12:00 pm: air quality data for the current day’s morning
- From 12:00 pm to 6:00 am: air quality data for the current day’s afternoon/evening
What are the different air quality readings that I can receive?
The Air Quality screen shows four different levels which reflect a specific range of the Air Quality Index:
|
|
EXCELLENT: The AQI is between 0 to 20 The air is clear: perfect for outdoor activities! |
|
|
MODERATE: The AQI is between 21 to 50 The air quality is considered acceptable, although there may be certain health concerns for people with specific sensitivities. |
|
|
LOW: The AQI is between 51 to 100 The air pollution is high and some may start to experience more serious health effects. Long term exposure constitutes a real health risk. |
|
|
POOR: The AQI is over 101 The air has reached a very high level of pollution. Effects can be immediately felt by individuals at risk, while everybody else can feel the effects of prolonged exposure. |
