The glass is an illustration. Its murkiness follows the × number; it is not a water-quality reading, and breathing this air is not the same as drinking this water.

CPCB's AQI score for PM2.5 is converted back to µg/m³ using India's AQI bands, then divided by the WHO 24-hour guideline of 15 µg/m³. A city's reading is the middle value of its stations. Severe figures are approximate.
