Air Quality Index

Air Quality Index (AQI) is a tool to showcase air quality status. It transforms complex air quality data of various pollutants into a single number and colour.
AQI has six categories of air quality. Read More... These are: Good, Satisfactory, Moderately Polluted, Poor, Very Poor and Severe Each of these categories is decided based on ambient concentration values of air pollutants and their likely health impacts As the AQI increases, an increasingly large percentage of the population is likely to experience health effects .

AQI City List
Measuring Key Pollutants in Air Quality
  • Particulate Matter (size less than 10 µm) or (PM10)
  • Particulate Matter (size less than 2.5 µm) or (PM2.5)
  • Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2)
  • Sulphur Dioxide (SO2)
  • Carbon Monoxide (CO)
  • Ozone (O3)
  • Ammonia (NH3)
  • Lead (Pb)
AQI Values and Their Health Impact

Moderate
Possible Health Impacts: Breathing discomfort to the people with lungs, asthma and heart diseases
AQI 201-300
Poor
Possible Health Impacts: Breathing discomfort to most people on prolonged exposure
AQI 301-400
Very Poor
Possible Health Impacts: Respiratory illness on prolonged exposure
AQI 401-500
Severe
Possible Health Impacts: Affects healthy people and seriously impacts those with existing diseases
