Delhi Aqi 494 World Tracking App IqAir Presentations 1600 What’s too much defined


The air quality in Delhi NCR has severely deteriorated, in other words, it has become poisonous. If you also live in Delhi NCR, then you must have check the air quality. Although the Air Quality Index (AQI) nowadays shows the air quality from 450 to 500, but if you check it on IQAIR, you can also see this figure up to 1,600. If you are thinking that this app is telling wrong or there is a glitter in it, then you are wrong, because the figure shown by IQAIR is judged through another method. Let us tell you about this in detail.

IqAIR is an International Air Quality Index Monitoring App, according to which Delhi’s maximum AQI is currently 1,600, while according to the Central Pollution of Control Board (CPCB) website in India, the worst figure in Delhi was between 450 and 500. Actually this is due to the standard of measuring India and global AQI. According to NDTV, the PM 2.5 measure is 60, while it is five or ten in some countries adopting the World Health Organization (WHO) standard. Similarly, India’s AQI is limited to 500 – which means that AQI is a major warning that the level of pollution is very serious.

According to the CPCB, an AQI between 0 and 50 is considered good, satisfactory between 51 and 100, the middle, 201 and 300 bad between 201 and 300, very bad between 301 and 400, severe between 401 and 450 and is considered very severe above 450 to 500.

On the other hand, IqAir – which is based on the American model, shows AQI above 500 ‘dangerous’. Let us know that IqAir has also installed its sensors in some areas of Delhi-NCR, through which the app monitors the pollution of Delhi. However, we should give more importance to CPCB data, as the government agency currently works at 40-time air quality monitoring stations Delhi.
