Which one of the following is included while estimating Air Quality Index (AQI)?

AN2O Nitrous oxide
BNO2 Nitrogen dioxide ✓ Correct
CN2O3 Dinitrogen trioxide
DN2O5 Dinitrogen pentoxide
Correct answer: (B) NO2 Nitrogen dioxide
Explanation

Nitrogen dioxide is the nitrogen oxide included in the Air Quality Index.

It is a criteria pollutant from vehicles and combustion, harmful to the lungs.

Nitrous oxide is a greenhouse gas but is not an index criteria pollutant.

Dinitrogen trioxide is not one of the pollutants tracked by the index.

Dinitrogen pentoxide is not among the index pollutants either.

India's index tracks PM2.5, PM10, NO2, SO2, CO, ozone, ammonia and lead.
