Lahore (HRNW) Since the last two weeks Lahore has been suffering from the highest levels of toxic air in the world, according to the United States Air Quality Index (AQI). The US Environmental Protection Agency regards air quality satisfactory if the AQI is under 50, meanwhile, the AQI in Lahore has been averaging between 200 and 250, which is categorised as very unhealthy.
However, this is not an uncommon occurrence for the provincial capital, with the city regularly ranking at the top of global pollution rankings. The situation is particularly worse in the winter season between October and February – normally referred to as smog season.
