LAHORE: Lahore’s air pollution hits toxic levels as the Air Quality Index recorded over 1000 on Saturday morning, bringing it to the top of the list of the world’s most polluted cities.
According to the Swiss air quality watchdog, IQAir, the air quality in Lahore surged to 1,067 — considered hazardous — between 8 am to 9 am despite the provincial government’s desperate measures to curb the detoritaing smog.
Ahead of winter, Punjab’s several cities, specifically Lahore, have been battling with server pollution, which led the local government to impose a green lockdown in the city’s pollution-hit hotspots.
The real-time AQI later improved to 244 by 12:15 pm.
