Standard Air Quality Index
AQI Reports of Cities of India 2019
Air quality index (AQI) is a measure of how polluted the air is. It reflects the concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and coarse particulate matter (PM10) in the air. Higher AQI values indicate greater air pollution and health risks.
The main goal of the AQI is to help people understand when to reduce outdoor activities due to poor air quality, protecting their health. It provides a simple and understandable way to gauge the air pollution level and its potential impact on health.
Poor air quality can cause short-term health issues such as eye, nose, and throat irritation, coughing, and shortness of breath. Long-term exposure can affect lung function and cardiovascular health and can even lead to increased mortality. People with respiratory conditions, children, the elderly, and outdoor workers are particularly at risk.
