Mumbai's AQI up in the air; fluctuates between ‘poor’ and ‘moderate’

The air quality of the city has been fluctuating between the ‘poor’ and the ‘moderate’ categories since the retreat of monsoon. According to the System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting And Research (SAFAR), the overall Air Quality Index (AQI) of Mumbai was recorded at 183 (moderate) on Monday while it had shot up to 253 (poor) on Sunday.

However, even on Monday, regions like Andheri, Malad and Navi Mumbai remained in the ‘poor’ category with AQIs of 211, 228 and 300, respectively.

After four months of good air days during the monsoon, the city witnessed a drastic drop in the air quality from the ‘good’ to the ‘very poor’ category post Diwali celebrations. Since then, the city's air quality has been swinging between moderate and poor categories.

This fluctuation is mainly because of the stagnant winds and increase of dryness in the air, explained the SAFAR.
