Air Quality Index quantifies air pollution severity on a 0-500 scale. It helps identify health risks and pollution levels.

ଷ୍ଟେପ୍-ଷ୍ଟେପ୍ ଗାଇଡ୍ |

  1. 1Calculate AQI from five pollutants: PM2.5, PM10, O₃, NO₂, SO₂
  2. 2Each pollutant scaled 0-500 based on health thresholds
  3. 3Reported AQI is the maximum component

ସମାଧାନ ହୋଇଥିବା ଉଦାହରଣ

ଇନପୁଟ୍
PM2.5 = 35 μg/m³ (moderate), others low
ଫଳ
AQI = 100 (Moderate: acceptable air quality)
Health advisory issued

ଏଡ଼ାଇବା ଯୋଗ୍ୟ ସାଧାରଣ ଭୁଲ

  • Assuming AQI >100 means no activity allowed (depends on individual health)
  • Neglecting source-specific pollution episodes

What AQI values are safe?

AQI 0-50 (Good), 51-100 (Moderate), 101-150 (Unhealthy for groups), 151+ (Unhealthy).

Why is PM2.5 most important?

Particle size allows deep lung penetration; strong health correlation, especially respiratory and cardiovascular.
