Infographic - What is AQI?
What AQI does is unification of all the complicated science of pollution composition, exposure rate based health severity, ambient standards, and measurement and standard protocols, into simple color coded bins for everyone to see how good or bad or ugly the pollution levels are and understand the necessary alertness.
More such questions are answered in SIM-series # 46-2021 - 10 frequently asked questions on Air Quality Index (AQI)
