Embee Limited has developed a free real-time air quality monitoring service designed to safeguard student health by providing parents and educators with location-specific air quality information and advice.
The service uses spatial interpolation models that integrate live pollutant data from the EPD with geographical information from the CSDI Portal. This generates estimated pollutant levels at over 1000 Hong Kong school locations that are not directly adjacent to official monitoring stations.
The resulting levels are translated into an Air Quality Index (“AQI”), and actionable health and outdoor activity advice for schools, which are based on international standards. All data and recommendations are updated hourly.
