Question 2 of 5
2. Question
Consider the following statements about Air Quality Index (AQI)
- The AQI is a measure launched in 2016 as part of the Swachh Bharat campaign to help people understand air pollution levels.
- The AQI score is based on several pollutants, including PM 2.5, PM 10, nitrogen dioxide, and others.
- In India, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) is responsible for monitoring air quality and issuing AQI reports.
How many of the statements given above are correct?
Correct
Solution (b)
Statement Analysis
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Inorrect Correct Correct ● The AQI is a measure launched in 2014 as part of the Swachh Bharat campaign to help people understand air pollution levels. The AQI condenses pollution data into a single, easy-to-read score and color code: Good (0-50)
Satisfactory (50-100)
Moderately polluted (100-200)
Poor (200-300)
Very Poor (300-400)
Severe (400-500)
● Government agencies (CPCB) monitor levels of various air pollutants, such as particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and carbon monoxide ● In India, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) is responsible for monitoring air quality and issuing AQI reports. The CPCB uses a six-point scale to categorize air quality, ranging from “Good” to “Severe.” Context:The air quality in many places in India took a hit, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) reaching more than 300, which is categorized as “very poor.”
