Air quality, air pollution, fuzzy logic, environmental indicatorsAbstract
In this work an integrated index is proposed using fuzzy logic which incorporates information on the two criteria pollutants of highest incidence on human health in Colombian cities, ozone (O3 ) and particulate matter with diameter less than 10 µm (PM10). The index is calculated for current Colombian air quality standards, although its adaptation to others is straightforward.
