What does the current AQI of 31 mean?

The AQI at Sinop is 31, classified as 'Good'. Air quality is safe for everyone.

What does PM10 level of 31.0 mean?

PM10 is 31.0 µg/m³ at Sinop, marked as 'Good'. It indicates larger dust or pollen particles which may cause throat irritation or allergies.

Should I worry about NO₂ being 2.1 µg/m³?

NO₂ level is 2.1 µg/m³. Higher levels often come from vehicle emissions and may aggravate lung diseases. Consider reducing time near heavy traffic if you're sensitive.

Why is ozone (O₃) important in air quality?

Ground-level ozone is 19.0 µg/m³. Though protective high up, it can cause respiratory problems when present in lower atmosphere, especially in sunlight-heavy hours.

📖 What Each Pollutant Tells You

Each pollutant plays a unique role in determining air quality. Here's what the values above actually mean for your health and environment:

🌫 PM2.5 (Fine Particulate Matter): Microscopic particles that go deep into the lungs. Long exposure can worsen asthma, heart issues, and respiratory illnesses.
Safe: 0–30 | Caution: 31–60 | Hazard: 90+
🌬 PM10 (Coarse Particulates): Larger dust and pollen particles. Can irritate the eyes, throat, and cause coughing or short breath.
Safe: 0–50 | Moderate: 51–100 | Poor: 101+
💨 NO₂ (Nitrogen Dioxide): A key traffic-related pollutant. High levels are linked to reduced lung function and increased hospital visits.
Safe: 0–40 μg/m³ | Moderate: 41–80 | Risky: 81+
🛢 CO (Carbon Monoxide): Released from incomplete combustion (vehicles, stoves). In high concentrations, it limits oxygen to vital organs.
Safe: 0–1 mg/m³ | Elevated: 1.1–2 | Unsafe: 2.1+
☀️ O₃ (Ozone): Formed by chemical reactions in sunlight. While good in the upper atmosphere, ground-level O₃ is harmful to lungs.
Acceptable: 0–50 | Moderate: 51–100 | Dangerous: 101+
🏭 SO₂ (Sulfur Dioxide): Produced by burning coal or oil. Short-term exposure irritates the eyes, nose, and throat. Long-term effects can damage lungs.
Safe: 0–40 | Moderate: 41–80 | Risky: 81+

Note: Children, older adults, and people with respiratory conditions should reduce outdoor exposure when pollutant levels cross into the caution zone.
