The regulations on air quality in Bosnia and Herzegovina are based on European Union regulations and they rely on defined limits for concentrations of certain pollutants. Although the law stipulates that the public must be informed on the quality of environmental parameters in a clear, simple and easily understandable manner, this is not the case in practice. In many countries, the Air Quality Index (AQI) is used to inform the public about air quality, or the degree of pollution, which is calculated in different ways. This paper provides an overview of several AQI models used in various countries, as well as a suggestion for the most appropriate AQI to be used in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
