City’s air quality almost enters poor category

Mumbai’s overall Air Quality Index (AQI) almost entered the poor category on Thursday, two days after the city recorded good AQI. Around 7.30 pm, System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research (SAFAR) recorded the city’s overall AQI at 197 – only three points more and the air quality would have entered the poor category. Mazagaon, however, recorded good AQI at 40, followed by Borivali at 83 (satisfactory).
