The AirNow-International (AirNow-I) Community is a network of agencies and international organizations interested in sharing and disseminating real-time air quality data and information. The AirNow-I community is administered by the U.S. EPA and its main focus is to provide users of the AirNow-I and systems alike a way to connect, collaborate and share knowledge. AirNow-I was developed to meet the needs of international countries, regions and cities committed to make available real-time air quality information to their citizens and decision makers. The AirNow-I system builds off of the AirNow system that has been used in the U.S. for over 15 years.
