Sensor place card

  • Current AQI: The Air Quality Index value right now
  • Pollutant breakdown: Individual readings for PM2.5, PM10, NO2, and O3
  • Leaf rating: Long-term air quality assessment for this location
  • Trend indicators: Whether air quality is improving or worsening
  • Last updated: When the reading was taken (typically within minutes)
