What is RF pollution in the Performance graphs?

In the ZD when I select an AP to monitor, under Performance there is a graph showing the RF Pollution in history.
What is this value? What unit? How is it calculated? How does it help me?

For example: I have an AP with RF Pollution of 26 whatsicles, that has NoiseFloor of -95, PHY Errors 1042, %Airtime 21.2/0.2/20.0/1.1
And another: RF Pollution 14, NF -105, PHYErr 56, %Airtime 11.9/0.1/8.8/3.0
One more: RF Pollution 2, NF -92, PHYErr 17, %Airtime 1.2/0.0/0.1/1.2

I can't figure out how this RF Pollution relates to the other values, and if I should worry when the value exceeds an unknown number, or just ignore it.

Any help appreciated!
