How it works

Air quality you can measure, guidance you can act on.

Official networks in, one consistent index out — with the health advice that goes with it.

We collect

Readings stream in from CPCB, WAQI, OpenAQ and the US EPA — thousands of reference-grade stations, every hour.

We normalise

Every pollutant is converted to one comparable index, so a number in Delhi means the same as a number in Berlin.

We advise

You get the colour, the dominant pollutant, an 8-day outlook and plain-language advice for the day ahead.

Why Does AQI Change Every Day? Understanding the Science Behind Daily Air Quality Changes

AQI can change dramatically from one day to the next—and sometimes within just a few hours. Weather, traffic, wind, temperature inversions, sunlight, rain, wildfires, dust, and atmospheric chemistry all influence how pollutants build up, disperse, or transform. In this guide, discover the science behind daily AQI changes, which pollutants drive them, and how to understand what today’s AQI really means for you.
