How is air quality measured?
If the AQI of an area is between zero to 50, then the AQI is considered ‘good’, if the AQI is 51 to 100, it is considered ‘satisfactory’, if the AQI of a place is between 101 to 200, it is considered ‘moderate’, if the AQI of a place is between 201 to 300. If the AQI of that area is considered ‘bad’. If AQI is between 301 to 400, it is considered to be in ‘very bad’ category and if AQI is between 401 to 500, it is considered to be in ‘severe’ category. Air pollution can cause many types of diseases. On this basis, grape category restrictions are imposed in Delhi-NCR.

What is Grape?
Grap means GRAP. The full form of GRAP is Graded Response Action Plan. This is a scheme of the government, which has been made against the increasing pollution in Delhi-NCR. Pollution is controlled through this plan. Actually, it has many stages and these stages also increase with increasing pollution. As the phases increase, restrictions also increase in Delhi.

GRAP has 4 steps

• When the air in Delhi deteriorates from 201 to 300 AQI, the first phase is implemented.
• After this, if the air becomes worse and AQI reaches 301 to 400, then its second phase is implemented.
• If the air becomes very bad i.e. AQI becomes more than 400 then the third phase takes place.
• When the situation becomes worse, the fourth level of GRAP is implemented.

Measures to prevent pollution
To avoid pollution, cover your mouth and nose properly or wear a mask when you go out of the house. To avoid eye allergies, wear goggles before going out. Use air purifier at home in case of excessive pollution. At the same time, children and elders of the house were prevented from going out. In such a situation, ask the children who go to play in the park to play indoor games at home. If you go for morning and evening walk, then do not go out for a few days, otherwise excessive pollution can cause respiratory problems.
