Islamabad’s air quality improves as pollutants found below permissible limits

The air quality in the federal capital was rated as satisfactory and clean due to the proportion of air pollutants being under acceptable limits on Sunday.

Owing to the persistent rainy weather and the low volume of traffic on the roads, the air quality in Islamabad was assessed as being healthy because suspended particles and the pollutants’ ratio were both within the allowed levels in the atmosphere. The Pak-EPA has gathered the air quality data, which is based on three intervals of eight hours of data collection from various sites and monitors air pollutants ratio for 24 hours.

The Pak-EPA data showed that the contaminants were below the allowable thresholds of national environmental quality (NEQs) requirements throughout the three data monitoring intervals, keeping the air quality high.
