Current Air Quality API
This API returns current air quality conditions for any location in the world. It returns air quality data on the 6 major surface pollutants - PM 2.5, PM 10, CO, SO2, NO2, and O3. Additionally, this API returns an air quality index score (AQI) as well as pollen levels (USA and EU only).
All parameters should be supplied to the API as query string parameters.
