What has the air quality in APHB Colony, Guntur been like this week?
Over the last 7 days, the CAMS air-quality model put APHB Colony, Guntur's daily AQI at 121 on average, from 55 on Nov 5 to an hourly peak of 187 on Nov 9. On 5 of those days the average was above 100, unhealthy for sensitive groups.
Is APHB Colony, Guntur's AQI the same as India's AQI (CPCB)?
No. Airleaf shows the US EPA Air Quality Index (AQI), the scale used by IQAir and most air-quality apps. India's Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) publishes the National Air Quality Index on its own scale: 0–50 good, 51–100 satisfactory, 101–200 moderate, 201–300 poor, 301–400 very poor and 401–500 severe. The two scales don't line up. At moderate fine-particle levels the US scale reads higher: 55 µg/m³ of PM2.5 is 149 on the US AQI but about 92, "satisfactory", on India's. In heavy smog India's reads higher: 100 µg/m³ is 182 on the US AQI and about 232, "poor", on India's. CPCB also averages particles over 24 hours, so its figure moves more slowly than an hourly reading.
