As per Swiss organisation IQAir, Air pollution contributes to as many as 7 million premature deaths globally per year and costs more than $5 trillion in welfare losses. According to IQAir's world air quality report 2020, air quality in every Indian city improved compared to 2018 while 63 per cent saw direct improvements against 2019. However, India is still home to 22 of the 30 most polluted cities in the world. In 2019, India launched the 'National Clean Air Programme' proposing a “tentative national target” of 20 to 30 per cent reduction in PM 2.5 and PM 10 concentrations by 2024, with 2017 as the base year for comparison. AQI is a yardstick to measure the quality of air in a given area. It is measured from 0 to 500. A higher value of AQI denotes a greater level of pollutants in the air and hence a more severe impact on health. The AQI index is divided into six categories, each corresponding to a different level of health concern. - Green (0-50) - Good - Yellow (51-100) - Moderate - Orange (1001-150) - Unhealthy for sensitive groups - Red (151-200) - Unhealthy - Purple (201-300) - Very unhealthy - Maroon (301 and higher) - Hazardous Poor visibility due to dense smog is one of the main reasons for diversions and delays in flight during winters. As the air becomes denser it traps in more particles and thus reduces visibility. There have been instances when visibility at airports drops to zero meters. According to the IMD, very dense fog is when visibility is between 0 and ...
