    Delhi schools reopen from today

    While Primary schools in Delhi reopened, outdoor activities too resumed for all classes on Wednesday. Amid the high pollution levels, the government of Delhi declared additional measures on November 4. These included closing primary schools and work-from-home for 50% of its employees. Furthermore, schools have also enforced a few precautions to protect students from pollution.

    What AQI is healthy for people?

    According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), an AQI between 0 and 50 is considered to be "good," and anything between 51 and 100 is "satisfactory." An AQI between 101 to 200 is deemed "moderate," with 201-300 and 301-400 AQI considered "poor" and "very poor," respectively. However, anything between 401 and 500 is categorized as "severe" when breathing becomes tough.
