What is AQI?

The Air Quality Index (AQI) is a standardized indicator of air pollution. It provides a simple way to understand how polluted the air currently is or how polluted it is forecast to become. AQI values are calculated for major pollutants including PM2.5, PM10, NO2, SO2, CO, and Ozone.

How to Interpret AQI Values?

  • 0-50 (Good): Air quality is considered satisfactory, and air pollution poses little or no risk.
  • 51-100 (Satisfactory): Air quality is acceptable; however, there may be a risk for some people, particularly those who are unusually sensitive to air pollution.
  • 101-200 (Moderate): Members of sensitive groups may experience health effects. The general public is less likely to be affected.
  • 201-300 (Poor): Everyone may begin to experience health effects; members of sensitive groups may experience more serious health effects.
  • 301-400 (Very Poor): Health warnings of emergency conditions. The entire population is more likely to be affected.
  • 401-500 (Severe): Health alert: everyone may experience more serious health effects.

Health Recommendations

When AQI levels are high, it is advisable to limit outdoor activities, especially for children, elderly, and those with respiratory or heart conditions. Use masks, keep windows closed, and use air purifiers if available.
