According to #AirQualityLifeIndex, #AirPollution caused by PM2.5 and PM10 is more devastating than communicable diseases like tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS, cigarette smoking and even war. #KnowYourAir #ClimateCrisis #RightToCleanAir
Adopting eco-friendly practices like refusing, reducing, reusing, recycling, segregation and composting waste are some of the effective methods to minimise the waste send to dump yards.

#AirQuality is worse if you live near traffic junctions, mines, industries etc. Specific measures to reduce pollution in these areas need to be taken. #AQI #AirPollution #ClimateCrisis #RightToCleanAir #KnowYourAir
#VehicularEmission is a major contributor of NOX and PM2.5 pollution. Using public transport & either cycling/ walking for shorter distances will help a great deal in improving #AirQuality #AirPollution #KnowYourAir #AQI
#AirQualityIndex is measured based on real-time. It is updated every hour. For example, air quality that was measured between 8.00 am to 9.00 am is reported at 9.00 am, and so on.

#AQI is calculated on the presence of eight major chemical pollutants which are known to be most harmful to human health.

Keep a constant lookout for the air quality in your locality. When the #AirQuality is good, you can actively spend more time outdoors, breathe in as much fresh air you can, and get involved in high-intensity longer duration exertion.

If #AQI falls under the poor, very poor or severe category in your locality, people who have compromised health condition, children and older adults should refrain from spending time outdoors. An appropriate mask with a good fit is also essential.

#AirQualityIndex ranges from 0 to 500. In India, based on the air quality, there are six AQI categories, namely Good (0-50), Satisfactory (51-100), Moderate (101-200), Poor (201-300), Very Poor(301-400) and Severe(401-500)
