What is Air Quality Index?
Air Quality Index (AQI) is a numerical scale used to measure and report air quality of an area on a given day. Eight pollutants namely PM10, PM2.5, NO2, SO2, CO, O3, NH3, and Pb are the major parameters taken into consideration while deriving AQI of a region. Public health risks increase as the AQI rises. The following table shows the Air Quality Index (AQI) Categories and the Health impacts associated with each category.
Breathe India Network is a pilot project by ACPN to raise awareness of the critically air-polluted cities. #BreatheIndiaBreathe
