- Its cigarette estimate divides PM2.5 by 22; the page cautions that readings average roughly 40-km grid cells and cannot predict individual outcomes.
Field notes
The cigarette comparison is based on PM2.5 divided by 22, while estimated life impact follows the University of Chicago’s Air Quality Life Index methodology. The page identifies its air data as model-based and says the grid is about 40 km across in most areas, narrower in Europe. It also states that searched places or device location are sent to services for lookup, while promises and a small reading cache remain in the browser.
