What is AQI and why measure it?

AQI or Air Quality Index is a standardized way of expressing ambient air quality in a single number so that pollution intensity is easy to understand. It helps communicate whether air is safe, moderately polluted, or hazardous for public health.

AQI is measured to support public health protection, environmental monitoring, pollution control enforcement, exposure awareness, city management, institutional safety, and long-term trend analysis. For organizations and public agencies, AQI dashboards help convert raw sensor data into actionable intelligence.

Why monitoring matters

Early identification of harmful pollution spikes
Protection of children, elderly people, and those with respiratory conditions
Evidence-based decisions for outdoor work, public activity, and ventilation
Support for urban environmental management and reporting

What the measured parameters mean

PM1: ultra-fine particulate matter that can penetrate deeply into the lungs and bloodstream.
PM2.5: fine particulate matter widely used in AQI calculations; strongly linked to respiratory and cardiovascular risk.
PM10: larger inhalable particles that affect the respiratory tract.
Temperature: influences pollutant dispersion and environmental comfort.
Humidity: affects particulate behavior, perception, and sensor environment.
eCO₂: estimated carbon dioxide indicator used especially in ambient air quality context.
TVOC: total volatile organic compounds, indicating airborne chemical pollutants from solvents, fuels, fumes, and indoor sources.

CPCB AQI classes and recommended limits

The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) AQI framework classifies air quality into bands so that the severity and likely health impact can be understood quickly.

Good 0–50

Minimal impact

Satisfactory 51–100

Minor breathing discomfort to sensitive people

Moderate 101–200

Breathing discomfort to people with lung or heart disease

Poor 201–300

Breathing discomfort on prolonged exposure

Very Poor 301–400

Respiratory illness on prolonged exposure

Severe 401–500

Serious health impact even for healthy people

Indicative safe / reference values

Parameter	Reference / Common Safe Limit	Notes
PM2.5	60 µg/m³ (24-hour CPCB standard)	Fine particles; important for AQI and health risk tracking.
PM10	100 µg/m³ (24-hour CPCB standard)	Coarser inhalable particulate matter.
CO₂ / eCO₂	Ambient air comfort often preferred below 1000 ppm	Higher values may indicate poor ventilation and flow.
TVOC	Lower is better; ideally under a few hundred ppb indoors	Depends heavily on environment and source type.
Temperature	Context dependent	Does not directly define AQI but supports environmental interpretation.
Humidity	Context dependent	Useful for comfort and sensor/environment context.

Recommended response by AQI band

0–50: Normal activity acceptable.
51–100: Sensitive individuals should remain aware if exposure is prolonged.
101–200: Reduce intense outdoor activity for sensitive groups.
201–300: Limit prolonged outdoor exposure; consider masks and mitigation.
301–400: Avoid outdoor exertion where possible; mitigation action recommended.
401–500: Serious risk; strong protective and administrative control measures recommended.
