While Indian metros choke on 200+ AQI, Alakananda stays under 40 — naturally!
The Air Quality Index (AQI) is a global scale used to measure air pollution levels.
Lower AQI means Cleaner, Healthier air.

Despite being a critical part of long-term health & well-being – Air Quality is the most overlooked aspect of lifestyle in India.
AQI above 100 is considered unhealthy and prolonged exposure has been linked to chronic respiratory issues, increased risk of infections and reduced cognitive performance.
It will silently – but surely – damage your lungs, trigger asthma, reduce lung function and eventually reduce your lifespan!
Children are much more vulnerable – as their lungs are still developing and they breathe more air relative to their body weight.
Do you know the AQI of the city you live in?
Here are some shocking numbers from across major cities of India!

The Hidden Cost of City Living
You breathe in 11,000 litres of air per day – or over 40,00,000 litres a year.
If that air is laced with toxins, it’s not just discomfort—it’s long-term damage.
Most people don’t realize how silently poor air quality takes a toll — until it’s too late.
Even short-term exposure can cause :
- Weakened immunity
- Cardiovascular stress
- Fatigue and poor sleep
- Reduced cognition in children
- Recurring coughs and allergies
- Worsening asthma or respiratory conditions
From ever-growing traffic and concrete jungles to the near disappearance of tree cover, most Indian cities are trapped in a cycle of worsening air quality.
Even Tier-2 & 3 cities, once considered relatively pollution-free, are now showing signs of stress.
You can buy organic vegetables. You can install five-star rated air purifiers. But at the end of the day, you’re still inhaling the same outdoor air — just filtered through a different mask.
A Quick Science Check
What parameters affect AQI?
While there are many parameters, the most important – and also the most harmful – parameter is Particulate Matter (PM 2.5 & PM 10).
These are particles suspended in the air that penetrate your lungs and enter your bloodstream – posing various health risks including respiratory and cardiovascular issues.
PM 2.5
These particles have a diameter of 2.5 micrometers – just 3% the diameter of human hair diameter and mostly come from vehicle emissions, burning of fossil fuels & industrial waste.
PM 10
PM 10 have a diameter of 10 micrometers – 14% of human hair width and mostly come from road dust, construction activities, agricultural activities etc.
How small are these particles?
As you can now realise, urban air isn’t just dust – it’s a cocktail of microscopic threats!
Urban Air Crisis!
Why Cities Struggle With AQI, but Alakananda Doesn’t!
Despite headlines and promises, air quality in Indian metros is on a steady decline…
No Indian city ranks in the top 100 globally for clean air.
CPCB data shows year-on-year increase in PM2.5 across major metros and the Supreme Court & National Green Tribunal have repeatedly called out state inaction on pollution.
You can upgrade your car, your flooring, your fitness routine – but not the air outside!
Why city air is getting worse :
- Too many vehicles, too little public transport
- Unchecked construction dust and poor zoning
- Shrinking urban tree cover
- Heat islands and temperature inversion during winters
How Alakananda is different :
- Far from traffic corridors
- Naturally aerated by 2 rivers on 2 sides
- Surrounded by 31,000 acres reserve forest – not buildings!
- Carefully planned with airflow and ecology in mind
