Last week the city's Air Quality Index (AQI) was witnessed in the 'satisfactory' category following unseasonal rains
The Air Quality Index (AQI) between 0-50 is considered "good," 51-100 "satisfactory," 101-200 "moderate," 201-300 "poor," 301-400 "very poor," and 401-500 "severe." An AQI above 500 falls in the "severe/critical plus" category
Despite the efforts of the BMC to mitigate air pollution, poor air quality was recently witnessed, affecting the financial capital
A thick blanket of haze hovered over Mumbai on Friday affecting the visibility while the air quality dipped to 'moderate' again after a minor relief. The city's Air Quality Index (AQI) on Friday morning was at 112 around 9 am
Several areas across the city reported 'moderate' air quality with a handful of exceptions that still reported 'satisfactory' air quality
According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), Powai, Vile Parle, Borivali, Worli, Colaba, Chakala, Bhandup, Mulund, Bandra Kurla Complex, Kherwadi and Byculla reported 'satisfactory' air quality
