Waiting for readings

Main driver: –

COPD risk will update from live pollutant readings and your selected stage.

Stage 2 COPD guidance

Overall COPD risk: –

    Stage changes how cautiously each reading is interpreted. It does not diagnose COPD severity.

    Pollutants used in the DAQI-style assessment

    Official UK DAQI concentration bands from GOV.UK / Defra, interpreted as Low / Medium / High COPD risk for your selected stage.

    How to use this result

    Compare each pollutant’s COPD risk tag with how you feel today. Recent flare-ups, infection, pollen sensitivity and your clinician’s action plan may justify greater caution than the model suggests.

    Risk thresholds used (gathered from official DAQI bands)

    Source: GOV.UK pollutant concentrations for the DAQI. Column colours show how each official band is treated as Low, Medium or High COPD risk for the stage you selected.

    Medical safety

    Call 999 for severe breathing difficulty, blue or grey lips, confusion, collapse, severe chest pain, or inability to speak normally because of breathlessness.

    Live values come from the CAMS European air-quality model via Open-Meteo for the selected coordinates. The UK DAQI shown is indicative (official DAQI uses pollutant-specific averaging periods). COPD risk labels are a planning aid, not a clinical score.
