Thanks for the second link
coot.
In the FAQ it says the Abu Dhabi monitoring is not working (down for some months since summer 2014) but that the Dubai system is working.
It seems to be not quite real time - see here for the E311, formerly known as Emirates Road, which seems to update every 1 or 2 hours.

The air quality here is consistently worse than in Abu Dhabi. And is bad. The local press have picked up on the OP reports and are taking the line that if you exclude sand and dust, we're really OK. Daft.
Just drive up the E11 and as you cross the border at Ghantoot you can see the muck - and on bad days smell it and taste it too.
