Test how emissions and weather conditions change particulate pollution, ozone, and an air-quality index proxy.
This is a simplified educational model. Values update from the equations described in Model assumptions & science.
This browser-based air quality simulation helps you test how emissions and weather conditions change particulate pollution, ozone, and an air-quality index proxy. Designed for Grades 6–12, it turns an abstract idea into a model you can control, measure, reset, and test without signing up.
Explore PM2.5, ozone, emissions, wind, inversion by changing the available controls and comparing the model’s visual and numerical evidence. Try one variable at a time, then combine changes to test a stronger explanation.
A typical investigation takes 7–12 min. Use it as a lesson demonstration, a guided inquiry activity, a homework experiment, or a quick review. The simulation runs in a modern web browser and does not require an account.
Test how emissions and weather conditions change particulate pollution, ozone, and an air-quality index proxy. The main ideas are PM2.5, ozone, emissions, wind, inversion.
Yes. You can run the simulation online for free without creating an account.
Most learners can complete one investigation in 7–12 min. You can repeat it to compare more variables or improve your explanation.
