Air Quality Index (AQI)

An Air Quality Index (AQI) is used for reporting air quality in a specific location. The AQI is measured on a scale of 0 to 500. The higher the AQI value, the greater the level of air pollution and the greater the health concern.

The AQI considers major pollutants - PM (Coarse: PM-10, Fine: PM-2.5), NO2, SO2, CO, O3, NH3, and Pb - for which short-term (up to 24-hourly averaging period) National Ambient Air Quality Standards are prescribed.
