9 National Air Quality Index for 175 cities at 416 locations of India, December 2015 Monthly Bulletin of Ambient Air Quality through Manual monitoring system Air Quality Index is a tool for effective communication of air quality status to people in terms, which are easy to understand. It transforms complex air quality data of various pollutants into a single number (index value), nomenclature and colour. There are six AQI categories, namely Good, Satisfactory, Moderately polluted, Poor, Very Poor, and Severe. Each of these categories is decided based on ambient concentration values of air pollutants and their likely health impacts (known as health breakpoints). AQ sub-index and health breakpoints are evolved for eight pollutants (PM10, PM2.5, NO2, SO2, CO, O3, NH3, and Pb) for which short-term (upto 24-hours) National Ambient Air Quality Standards are prescribed. Based on the measured ambient concentrations of a pollutant, sub-index is calculated, which is a linear function of concentration (e.g. the sub-index for PM2.5 will be 51 at concentration 31 µg/m3, 100 at concentration 60 µg/m3 and 75 at concentration of 45 µg/m3). The worst sub-index determines the overall AQI. Cities in different categories of AQI for the month of December: Of the total 175 cities covered for calculation of AQI during December 2015, 71 cities revealed good air quality, 128 cities revealed satisfactory air quality, 107 cities revealed moderate air quality, 34 cities indicate poor air quality, 12 cities showed very poor air quality and 8 cities indicate severe air quality. National Network: At present, continuous air quality monitoring stations from 23 cities are connected to the web-based system. Efforts are being made to connect more cities, where continuous monitoring systems are operated by various State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs). It is planned to strengthen the network of monitoring systems in all 46 cities having population more than a million and 20 State Capitals, and networking them to the central AQI portal, in phased manner. With regard to manual stations in the million plus cities (46 cities), SPCBs have been advised to use AQI calculator and publicize it with minimum time lag, as required for laboratory analysis. Central Pollution Control Board has initiated National Air Quality Monitoring Programme (NAMP; manual monitoring system) in the year Under NAMP, three air pollutants viz., Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and Particulate Matter size equal to or less than 10 micron (PM 10 ), have been identified for regular monitoring at all the locations. The NAMP network presently comprises 601 operating monitoring stations located in 254 cities/towns in 29 states and 5 union territories across the country. National AQI bulletin was calculated for the month of December 2015 for 25 states covering 175 cities at 416 locations / ambient air quality monitoring stations with 3625 AQI values. The status of the cities with respect to AQI during December 2015 is summarized below. Overall AQI category-wise observation: Of the total cities covered (175 cities), 16% of AQI value i.e. 494 AQI values in the country out of total 3625 AQI values revealed good air quality and 14 % of AQI value i.e AQI values in the country showed satisfactory air quality where the predominant pollutant during those days was PM10.Further, the data showed that 33 % of AQI value i.e AQI values in the country out of total 3625 AQI values showed moderate air quality where the predominant pollutant during those days was PM10 and 45% of AQI value i.e. 233 AQI values in the country out of total 3625 AQI values showed poor air quality where the predominant pollutant during those days was PM10. Of the total cities covered (175 cities), 1 % of AQI value i.e. 45 AQI values in the country of total 3625 AQI values showed very poor air quality where the predominant pollutant during those days was PM10 and 1 % of AQI value i.e. 20 AQI values in the country of total 3625 AQI values showed severe air quality where the predominant pollutant during those days was PM10. 9

Overall summary of possible health impacts: The analysis of AQI values precisely indicating that 1701 AQI values are falling in first two categories (good and satisfactory) of national AQI. A total of 47% of AQI values fall in good and satisfactory categories which indicates that the people in these areas suffer either minimal impact of the concentration of the pollutants or minor breathing discomfort for the sensitive people. The analysis of AQI values further expressing that 1859 AQI values are falling in second two categories (moderate and poor) of national AQI. A total of 51% of AQI values fall in moderate and poor categories which indicates that the people in these areas may suffer from breathing discomfort to the people with lungs, asthma and heart diseases or to most people on prolonged exposure. The analysis of AQI values indicating that 65 AQI values are falling in third two categories (very poor and severe) of national AQI. A total of 2% of AQI values fall in very poor and severe categories which indicates that the people in these areas may suffer from respiratory illness on prolonged exposure Affects healthy people and seriously impacts those with existing diseases. It is pertinent to mention that impact of pollutants or air quality depends on the changes in lower atmospheric stability of the area and daily calculated index/sub-index of various pollutants along with period of exposure of pollutants to human being and the immunity status of the individuals. Broad guidelines by Central Pollution Control Board for Public/Citizens of India AQI is an initiative intended to enhance public awareness and involvement in efforts to improve air quality. People can contribute by maintaining vehicles properly (e.g. get PUC checks, replace car air filter, maintain right tyre pressure), following lane discipline & speed limits, avoiding prolong idling and turning off engines at red traffic signals. In addition to above, during severe or very poor AQI, people should minimize travel; avoid using private vehicles and instead use public transport, bikes or walk, and carpool; use smaller vehicles (e.g. avoid SUVs) ******
