The Air Quality Index (AQI) is a measure of pollution levels in the air. As an instance, the AQI is 63 (Poor). This means sensitive groups such as children, the elderly, and people with respiratory issues may feel discomfort because of the high AQI level.

AQI is based on pollutants like PM2.5 and PM10 (tiny particles that enter lungs) circulating in the air. A PM2.5 reading of 15.4 µg/m³ and PM10 at 16.0 µg/m³ show elevated pollution levels that can cause severe irritation moving in the outdoors.

Checking AQI with Weather Pulse Now helps you decide if it’s a safe day going for exercise outside, travel, or staying indoors.
