#DELHIPOLLUTION what can anyone expect when the CM puts up a guest appearance in Delhi and devotes all his time to Gujarat. This is the price the people of Delhi and Punjab are paying for wanting 'Free ki Revdi'. The result is ' suffering unlimited'. Thinking now?

Air pollution levels in India are measured through Air Quality Index (a yardstick to measure air quality). There are different categories in the AQI to help people understand the quality of air within their territory.

AQI category	Range
Good	0 – 50
Satisfactory	50 – 100
Moderately	100 – 200
Poor	200 – 300
Very Poor	300 – 400
Severe	400 – 500

As per World Health Organization, 97 per cent of cities across the globe fail to meet its air quality recommendations.

Hyderabad registered an AQI of 95 (Satisfactory) on Wednesday morning, according to the Central Pollution Control Board.
