Punjab is still covered in dense haze, and according to Swiss air quality monitor IQAir, Lahore is currently the second most polluted city in the world as of Monday.
After the levels of toxins in the air decreased marginally on Sunday, the provincial capital’s air quality had left the “hazardous” category. However, the recovery was short-lived, as the city’s air quality index (AQI) passed the 300 mark once more today.
With an extremely high AQI of 1,226 as of 9:15 p.m., Delhi led the worldwide pollution chart, while Lahore’s AQI was a startling 485.
Anything that scores higher than 300 on the AQI is deemed “hazardous” by IQ Air.
