The Air Quality Index (AQI) is a numerical scale that provides information on the pollution levels in the air and the potential health impacts.
AQI considers various pollutants, including ground-level ozone, particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and carbon monoxide.
The AQI scale ranges from 0 to 500, with higher values indicate poorer air quality and greater health risks.
The National Air Quality Index (AQI) has six categories: Good: 0–50 Satisfactory: 51–100 Moderately polluted: 101–200 Poor: 201–300 Very poor: 301-400 Severe: 401–500
Different AQI levels are associated with various health effects, ranging from minimal or no risk to serious risks.
Air quality is affected by both natural and human sources, such as industrial activities, traffic, wildfires, and dust storms.
AQI helps people understand the level of pollution in the air, and it is a critical factor in promoting public health and safety.
