Know how much AQI is right for health
0 to 50 AQI is best for human health. 51-100 AQI is also considered fine, but sensitive people start having slight difficulty in breathing. 101 AQI is not good. Lung, heart and asthma patients have difficulty in breathing due to AQI of 101 to 200. There is oxygen in the air. Its air content should be 19.5. Oxygen less than this is harmful for human health. Health starts getting adversely affected.
70 lakh people die every year due to pollution
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about seven million or 70 lakh people die every year due to air pollution all over the world. This figure is quite shocking.
