ir pollution is a major health hazard that is responsible formillions of annual excess deaths worldwide. Simpleindicators are useful for comparative studies and to assesstrends over time. The development of global indicators hasbeen impeded by the lack of ground-based observations in vastregions of the world. Recognition is growing of the need for amultipollutant approach to air quality to better representhuman exposure. Here we introduce the prospect of amultipollutant air quality indicator based on observationsfrom satellite remote sensing.A variety of air pollution indices exist around the world. Theair quality index of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencyat a given time and place is based on the highest concentrationrelative to the ambient air quality standard for PM
