Stop using micro grams and start using AQI numbers like the whole world does, yes I know micro grams gives a much lower number and look much better right?

Stop using micro grams and start using AQI numbers like the whole world does, yes I know micro grams gives a much lower number and look much better right? The whole world does not use the same AQI numbers. Stop using AQI and start using micrograms per cu.m. AQI has a quite different scale in a number of countries I.E. The US, China and India to name some. A US scale AQI of 124 is only 75 in India etc. If your AQI meter was manufactured for another market such as India, it could well be reading under. So use micrograms per cu.m. A US AQI 0f >200 (150microgram per cu.m) is rated as unhealthy but in India AQI 200 (90micrograms per cu.) is rated as moderate.
