The outcome will be determined using data from AirNow (AirNow.gov). To access the resolution data, go to https://www.airnow.gov/international/us-embassies-and-consulates/, choose "Dubai" under "Select a City," and click on the "Historical" tab. Click on the file for "2022 PM2.5 YTD," when available. Add all valid data points for the column titled "AQI" (invalid entries are coded as -999) with a "3" under "Month" and divide the sum by the number of valid data points. Averages in March 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 were, respectively, 126.05, 101.03, 94.58, and 100.49. This question will be resolved when complete data for the month of March 2022 are first available. If the named sourced changes the way it presents the data, we will make the appropriate modifications to the resolution instructions.
