What Does API Stand For?
API stands for Air Pollution Index
The Air Pollution Index (API) is a numerical scale that quantifies and communicates the level of air pollution in a specific area. It is designed to inform the public about air quality conditions by summarizing various pollutants, such as particulate matter, ozone, and nitrogen dioxide, into a single, easy-to-understand value. The API helps individuals make informed decisions regarding outdoor activities and health precautions based on real-time air quality data.
