BXP — Breathe Exposure Protocol v2.0 Technical Specification
Abstract
BXP (Breathe Exposure Protocol) is an open universal file system specification and data standard for the capture, storage, transmission, and interpretation of atmospheric exposure data. It defines a universal .bxp file format, a composite Health Risk Index (BXP_HRI) with WHO-derived weighting, a complete REST API specification, and a federated network architecture. Like HTTP for the web — BXP is the format layer for air quality data. No hardware required. No licensing fees. Apache 2.0. Live reference implementation: https://github.com/bxpprotocol/bxp-spec
