This equipment can measure the levels of various pollutants in the air and transmit that data in real-time to a central location or app. The data helps in alerting individuals and organizations to potential health hazards.

AQI is combined from different air pollution parameters. These include particulate matter(PM1, PM2.5, PM10), toxic gases(SOx, NOx, etc.), VOCs, and others. As the AQI rises, a huge proportion of the population will suffer from severe unfavorable health effects. Measuring AQI requires an air monitor and an air pollutant concentration during a given average period. The results are classified into ranges, with each range receiving a descriptor, a color code, and a standardized public health advisory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aqi.in\/\">AQI<\/a> is calculated as a weighted average of the sub-indices. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other government agencies set the weighting factors, depending on the country. The AQI values are then used to provide a simple and easy-to-understand way for the public to understand the air quality and the associated health risks. That further helps in taking necessary actions to protect themselves and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"AQI_index\"><\/span>AQI index:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pranaair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/aqi-scale-1024x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66172\" width=\"893\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pranaair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/aqi-scale-1024x400.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pranaair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/aqi-scale-300x117.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pranaair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/aqi-scale-768x300.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pranaair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/aqi-scale-1536x599.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.pranaair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/aqi-scale-2048x799.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 893px) 100vw, 893px\" \/><figcaption>AQI ranges, color code and corresponding health affects<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Real-time_Air_Quality\"><\/span>Benefits of Real-time Air Quality<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">AQI in a specific time would allow for more rapid and fast precautions to adopt mitigation strategies are adopted.
