Frequently Asked Questions

What is the air quality in Rawalpindi today?

Rawalpindi currently has an AQI of 143, which is unhealthy for sensitive groups.

What is AQI?

The Air Quality Index measures air pollution on a scale from 0 to 500. Up to 50 is good, up to 100 is moderate, and anything above 150 is considered unhealthy.

Why does PM2.5 matter?

PM2.5 are fine particles small enough to reach deep into the lungs and the bloodstream, which is why they are considered the most harmful common air pollutant.

What should I do when pollution is high?

Reduce strenuous outdoor activity, keep windows closed, and use an N95 mask outdoors if you need to go out.

Readings come from the Open-Meteo air quality model and are indicative. They are not a substitute for official government monitoring.
