Quick Overview

Nature's mood ring, grading air health from serene blues to cautionary reds. It quantifies airborne pollutants, offering a tangible gauge for breathable skies.

AQI measurement

AQI is measured by monitoring various air pollutants such as particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), O3, NO2), SO2, and CO.

Good AQI

Hazards of a poor AQI

A poor AQI can lead to several health issues including asthma and bronchitis & cardiovascular problems.

Preventive Measures

Preventive steps include avoiding strenuous outdoor activities, staying hydrated, and following local air quality advisories for updates and recommendations.
