AQI for Janhit
A public-interest archive of lived air pollution experiences in India
Air pollution is measured in numbers. But its real impact is lived — in our lungs, homes, schools, and workplaces. AQI for Janhit documents these lived experiences so they are not forgotten.
Submit Your ExperienceWhat This Is
AQI for Janhit is a civic documentation and memory project. We collect first-hand experiences of air pollution from people across cities, regions, seasons, and years. These submissions form a growing public archive — a memory layer — of how polluted air affects daily life.
Why This Matters
Air quality data resets every day. News cycles move on. Policies change. But lived experiences are often lost.
Without memory, there is no continuity — and without continuity, no accountability. This platform exists to preserve those experiences for public discourse, research, and policy conversations.
What People Can Share
- Written experiences
- Photographs
- Short audio recordings
- Short video clips
Submissions may describe health impacts, daily disruptions, workplace or school experiences, seasonal patterns, or location-specific observations.
How the Archive Will Be Used
Submissions contribute to a public-interest archive and may inform research, exhibitions, conferences, journalism, and policy-facing discussions. All usage is anonymised and contextual.
