Abstract

JARAMILLO, Mauricio; GONZALEZ, Daniel Enrique; NUNEZ, María Eugenia  and  PORTILLA, Gloria. Integrated air quality index for Colombian cities. Rev.fac.ing.univ. Antioquia [online]. 2009, n.48, pp.97-106. ISSN 0120-6230.

In this work an integrated index is proposed using fuzzy logic which incorporates information on the two criteria pollutants of highest incidence on human health in Colombian cities, ozone (O₃) and particulate matter with diameter less than 10μm (PM₁₀). The index is calculated for current Colombian air quality standards, although its adaptation to others is straightforward.

Keywords : Air quality; air pollution; fuzzy logic; environmental indicators.
