AQI shown on the Indian CPCB scale. Regional and country figures are means across every reporting station beneath them.
What each band means
Every reading on AQIRadar falls somewhere on this scale. Here is what to do when you land in each band.
0–50
Good
Air quality is satisfactory. Enjoy the outdoors as normal.
51–100
Moderate
Acceptable for most. Unusually sensitive people should watch for symptoms.
101–150
Unhealthy for Sensitive
Sensitive groups may feel effects. Ease up on long outdoor exertion.
151–200
Unhealthy
Everyone may begin to feel effects. Shorten strenuous activity outdoors.
201–300
Very Unhealthy
Health warning. Avoid prolonged exertion and keep children indoors.
301–500
Hazardous
Emergency conditions. Stay indoors, seal windows and run a purifier.

Live air quality, answered
AQIRadar aggregates 19,296 monitoring stations across 137 countries and 7,354 cities. You can drill from a country all the way down to a single street-corner monitor.
The mean across every reporting station is currently 54, which falls in the Moderate band. It is an average of very different places, so it is a trend line rather than a description of anywhere in particular.
Of the countries we track, Bangladesh currently has the highest average reading at 148 (Unhealthy for Sensitive). Rankings move hour to hour as stations report.
San Marino currently has the lowest average reading at 9 (Good), averaged across every station we track there.
Bharatpur is currently reading highest among the cities we track, at 270 (Very Unhealthy).
The air quality index compresses several pollutants into one 0–500 figure across six bands, from Good through to Hazardous. The lower the number the cleaner the air, and each band carries its own health guidance.
Hourly. We pull from the official monitoring networks that publish for each location, and every page on AQIRadar refreshes on the same cadence.
