 Delhi's air quality is still considered "moderate," with an AQI of 149

According to statistics from the System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting as well as Research (SAFAR-India) at 10 am, the National Capital's pollution level on Friday morning remained in the'moderate' category with an Air Quality Index (AQI) measured at 149. The total AQI increased since it was 117 in the morning.

It is noteworthy that the AQI rose from 83 on Wednesday to 149 on Friday. The financial hub of India, which defeated Delhi on October 18 in terms of bad air quality, now has'moderate' category air for a second day in a row with an AQI of 132.

According to SAFAR, the AQI at Delhi International Airport (T3) was 193, IIT Delhi reported 108, and Noida recorded 132. Delhi University and Dhirpur, for example, had AQI readings of 249 and 280, respectively. Some places, including Pusa, Lodhi Road, Mathura Road, and Gurugram, had "satisfactory air," according to SAFAR, with AQI readings of 95, 81, 81, and 97, respectively.

According to the Central Pollution Control Board, Burari had bad air quality with an AQI of 248, Dwarka Sector-8 had 236 AQI, Jahangirpuri had 201 AQI, RK Puram had 213 AQI, Rohini had 243 AQI, and Wazirpur had 205 AQI, all of which fell into the "poor" category. 

The AQI scale classifies air quality as "good" between 0 and 50, "satisfactory" between 51 and 100, "moderate" between 101 and 200, "poor" between 201 and 300, "very poor" between 301 and 400, and "severe" between 401 and 450.

The Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) Board also met at the Secretariat earlier on Tuesday. Anil Gupta, a panel expert, had said that the worries about a potential reduction in air quality or pollution in general were not raised during the conference.

The Air Quality Index is a mechanism for clearly explaining the state of the air quality to the general public. There are six AQI classifications: Good, Satisfactory, Moderately Polluted, Poor, and Very Poor. Based on ambient air pollution concentration levels and their potential health effects (sometimes referred to as health breakpoints), each of these groups is chosen.
