Air Quality Index (AQI) at SRHU
The Air Quality Index (AQI) at Swami Rama Himalayan University (SRHU) reflects the level of air pollution and its potential impact on health. AQI is calculated based on pollutants such as particulate matter (PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀), carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and ozone.
Generally, SRHU benefits from a relatively cleaner environment due to its location in the Himalayan foothills, though AQI levels may fluctuate because of seasonal changes, traffic, construction, and weather conditions.
Monitoring AQI at SRHU helps in raising awareness, protecting public health, and promoting sustainable practices among students and staff.
