Why does smoggy air look brown or hazy? Learn how air pollutants reduce visibility through light scattering and absorption, how the Coefficient of Haze (COH) is measured, and how visibility feeds into the Air Pollution Index.

Complete guide to India's National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) notified by CPCB. Get the legal limits for all 12 pollutants — SO₂, NO₂, PM2.5, PM10, O₃, Pb, CO, benzene, and more — with measurement methods.

What are criteria air pollutants? Learn the 6 pollutants designated by the US EPA under NAAQS — CO, Pb, NO₂, O₃, PM, and SO₂ — with their standards, averaging times, and why they're called 'criteria' pollutants.

How exactly is India's Air Quality Index (AQI) calculated? Learn the 3 methods — the average formula, the 3-pollutant API, and the sub-index method — with the CPCB approach explained step by step.

What does an AQI of 150 or 300 mean? Understand India's Air Quality Index scale from 0 to 500, CPCB colour codes, health categories, and which pollutants are measured — explained simply.
