| 14 | )))|In 2005 the Common Air Quality Index (CAQI) was proposed to facilitate the comparison of air quality in European cities in real time. There are many air quality indices (AQI-s) in use in the world. All are different in concept and presentation and comparing air quality in cities was virtually impossible for the lay public1 . The CAQI and the accompanying website www.airqualitynow.eu or app were introduced as a ‘lingua franca’ solution to overcome this problem17 . | ||
