The<\/span> air quality index (AQI) is a tool used to assess and report the quality of air in a particular area, indicating how clean or polluted the air is and what associated health risks might be. Knowing the normal range of AQI is important to protect health because sensitive groups, including children, older people and pregnant women, are at particular risk. Some regions use a similar concept (the<\/span> air pollution index (API)) to measure air quality but follow a different scale or methodology. AQI and API both provide some information about pollution levels; however, AQI is generally used more around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this article, we will look at the normal range of the <\/span>air quality index, what affects it, and how we can use <\/span>air quality monitoring systems and <\/span>air quality checks to make sure we are breathing safe air.<\/span><\/p>\n
