The city's air quality index (AQI) today stands at 164, placing it in the "moderate" category. This is a significant dip compared to the improved conditions seen in recent days. Health authorities have advised caution, especially for children and individuals with respiratory conditions like asthma, as the air quality nears unhealthy levels.
Residents are encouraged to limit outdoor activities, particularly during peak traffic hours. The use of masks and air purifiers is recommended to mitigate the impact of poor air quality.
Understanding the AQI can help Mumbaikars plan their day responsibly and take necessary precautions to safeguard their health.
As the week progresses, the city is likely to enjoy clearer skies and steady temperatures, making it an ideal time to step out - provided the air quality improves.
