北京空气美国大使馆 PM2.5 OZONE BeijingAir Twiiter

从2月9日开始，@BeijingAir修改了报告的内容，从原来的报告过去1小时和当天平均值改为PM2.5和Ozone两个值。

原来的格式为：

2-9-2010 ; 11:00 ; Latest Hour ; 0.091 ; 169 ; Unhealthy ; Today’s Avg ; 0.216 ; 266 ; Very Unhealthy

现在的格式为：

02-21-2010; 09:00; PM2.5; 189.0; 239; Very Unhealthy // Ozone; 0.9; 1; Good

@BeijingAir是美驻华使馆在使馆区设置的一个空气检测站，将数据每隔一小时自动发送到twitter上。以前的数值仅仅为PM2.5，2月9日之后增加了Ozone。

PM2.5是Particulate matter 2.5的缩写，指大气中直径小于或等于2.5微米的颗粒物，也称为可入肺颗粒物。会进入肺部的气体交换区（肺泡），引起血管炎和动脉粥样硬化，进而导致心脏病和其他循环系统疾病。

PM10指直径等于或小于10微米，可以进入人的呼吸系统的颗粒物，也称为可吸入颗粒物。10微米到2.5微米的颗粒，部分会被肺呼出，部分被支气管和肺部组织吸附。

PM100指直径小于和等于100微米的颗粒物，也称总悬浮颗粒物。大于10微米的大多数被鼻腔和咽喉阻挡，不会造成麻烦。

Ozone是我们呼吸的空气，对人体健康有直接地影响。

目前@BeijingAir的数据格式为：

日期; 时间; PM2.5; PM2.5浓度; PM2.5空气质量指数; 健康等级 // Ozone; Ozone浓度; Ozone指数; Ozone健康等级
