Bengaluru's AQI Today: Real-Time Data Highlights Pollution Levels

Bengaluru's Air Quality Index (AQI) was released today, providing real‑time information on pollution levels across the city. The AQI is calculated from concentrations of particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), nitrogen dioxide, ozone and other pollutants, and is updated hourly by the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board. Residents can view the current AQI on India Today’s website and mobile apps, which display the index along with a colour‑coded scale that ranges from Good to Hazardous. The real‑time data helps citizens decide when to limit outdoor activities and informs city officials about the effectiveness of measures such as traffic restrictions and promotion of electric vehicles.
