The AQI is divided into six categories: "Good" AQI is 0 - 50. Air quality is considered satisfactory, and air pollution poses little or no risk. "Moderate" AQI is 51 - 100. Air quality is acceptable; however, for some pollutants there may be a moderate health concern for a very small number of people.
Page 14
"Low" AQHI is 1 - 3. At Risk Population: Enjoy your usual outdoor activities. General Population: Ideal air quality for outdoor activities. "Moderate" AQHI is 4 - 6. At Risk Population: Consider reducing or rescheduling strenuous activities outdoors if you are experiencing symptoms. General Population: No need to modify your usual outdoor activities unless you experience symptoms such as coughing and throat irritation.

Understanding the Citeair indices Those indices have 5 levels using a scale from 0 (very low) to > 100 (very high) and are a relative measure of the amount of air pollution. They are based on 3 pollutants of major concern in Europe: particles (PM10), nitrogen-dioxyde (NO2), and ozone (O3) and will be able to take into account to 3 additional pollutants (CO, PM2.5 and SO2) where data are also available.

When the CO2 is high, the temperature too cold or too hot, the room too dry, or too noisy, your indoor comfort index deteriorates. Notifications Notifications What are notifications? Notifications are computed by your Netatmo Weather Station and sent to your iPhone/Android. They are implemented to help you improve your environment with daily basic actions.
Those notifications are displayed your iPhone's notification centre and as badges on the Netatmo app icon. Those notifications are also stored in your Netatmo embedded events timeline. CO2 notifications When the CO2 level rises above 1000 ppm, this notification indicates the potential benefites of ventilating the room.
Navigating from dashboard to graphs You can easily access the graphs anytime by turning your iPhone in landscape mode. Navigating from events timeline to graphs When you select (touch on) a notification or a highlight in your event timeline and tilt your iPhone/Android, the corresponding section of the graph where this event took place is automatically displayed.
