- **Moderate (AQI 51-100):** Air quality is acceptable, with a slight concern for sensitive individuals.

- **Not Good (AQI 101-150):** Sensitive groups may experience health effects, while others may be less affected.

- **Unhealthy (AQI 151-200):** Everyone may start to experience health issues, with sensitive groups at higher risk.

- **Very Unhealthy (AQI 201-300):** Air quality is harmful to everyone, and sensitive groups should avoid outdoor activities.

- **Hazardous (AQI 301+):** Air quality is at a severe level, posing significant health risks. It's advised to stay indoors and keep windows closed.
