Delhi Air Pollution: These Apps Can Help You Track AQI Data, Weather Forecast
Delhi, Gujarat, Haryana, Goa and many other cities in India have been under severe Air Quality Index (AQI) as the pollution level is rising gradually. With the onset of cold and Diwali festivities coming ahead, the AQI is expected to go even higher. While one can take precautionary measures like using an air purifier at home and wearing a mask when outside, there is not much that can bring down the AQI in the overall environment due to multiple factors that lead to the rising graph. In order to check the AQI of your area or your city before stepping out of the house, there are a few apps that you can install on your phone. As the pollution level is on the rise, we have curated a list of AQI-level checking apps to make sure you live a better life and keep yourself protected.
