As the maximum limit of Air Quality Index (AQI) has been set at 500 on the official dashboard of Punjab government related to air pollution, the actual intensity of pollution is not being revealed. Even when the air pollution level exceeds 500, only 500 is displayed on the dashboard, leaving citizens unable to know that their area has reached AQI of 600, 700 or even more. The Punjab Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) dashboard measures AQI from zero to 500. The scale is divided into seven levels, including good, satisfactory, moderate, unhealthy for sensitive people, unhealthy, very unhealthy and hazardous air quality. However, even in the case of more than 500 pollutants, no increase in the data is shown. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), 500 AQI is the upper limit of the standard measurement, not the maximum limit of air pollution. The 'Beyond the AQI' method can be used to show more pollution so that citizens are aware of the true severity of air pollution. According to environmental affairs lawyer Altamish Saeed, making real-time data from the official monitoring network available to the public is an important development, but an index alone does not reveal the full picture of air pollution. He said that citizens, researchers and policy makers should also be provided with information about the actual amount of different pollutants and their distribution in different areas.
