The US Air Quality Index includes the concentration of PM2.5 particles as well as bigger pollutants. These particles can cause cardiovascular and respiratory diseases including lung cancer and pose a particular risk for people with COVID-19. 

“PM2.5 concentration in Lahore air is currently 24 times above the WHO annual air quality guideline value,” read an update on the city’s air quality on the US Air Quality Index website. 

It recorded a particulate matter (PM) rating of 289 that regarded the city as “very unhealthy” in terms of air quality. 

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regards air quality as satisfactory if the AQI is under 50. 

Karachi, the financial hub and largest megapolis of Pakistan stood at number 5 on the index. The PM2.5 concentration in Karachi was recorded at 153 six times above the WHO’s guideline value and the city was declared “unhealthy.” 

The Indian capital New Delhi was at number 3. Bosnia Herzegovina’s Sarajevo ranked 4th, India’s Mumbai 6th, Bangladeshi capital Dhaka 7th, Ukraine’s Kyiv 8th, Kyrgyzstan’s Bishkek 9th, and India’s Kolkata stood at 10th. 

Lahore suffers from high levels of air pollution and regularly ranks among the cities with poor air quality rankings. The issue of extreme air pollution in the city attracted public attention for the first time in 2017. 

In an attempt to counter air pollution and smog, the Punjab government also restricted the burning of crop residues and garbage across the province for a period of one month, starting October 6.  

Old-fashioned kilns were to be shut down, while the burning of garbage, tires, plastics, polythene bags, rubber, and leather items was banned across the province, a government notification said.
