Pakistan air quality today The AQI right now, city by city

Right now the 127 cities Airleaf measures in Pakistan average AQI 290 (very unhealthy). The worst air is in Kasur, at AQI 690, and the cleanest in Mirpur Khas, at AQI 73. At ground stations alone, which measure rather than estimate, the average is AQI 290 across 54 cities. 92% of the 127 measured cities are over AQI 100 today, where the air stops being fine for sensitive groups, and 1% have Good air.

Kasur, at AQI 690 (Hazardous) on the US EPA index. Emergency conditions — avoid outdoor activity.

Mirpur Khas, at AQI 73 (Moderate). Both lists rank current readings, from ground stations wherever Pakistan has at least three cities with one.

It depends on the city. 1 city is Good, 9 cities are Moderate, 8 cities are Unhealthy for sensitive groups, 31 cities are Unhealthy, 33 cities are Very unhealthy, 45 cities are Hazardous. At the national average of AQI 290: Health alert — everyone should avoid long outdoor exertion.

About 10,300 ha from 2001 to 2025, 1% of the forest it had in 2000, from the University of Maryland's yearly satellite maps of forest loss. 784 ha of it was cleared for good, for farms, mines or towns.

Dhirkot, with 78.0% tree cover within 2 km of its center, measured from Sentinel-2 satellite images.

Each city's reading is the US EPA air quality index, from ground monitoring stations where one has reported recently nearby, and from the CAMS atmospheric model elsewhere; each city's report says which. Tree cover is measured over the same 2 km radius in every city, so the cities compare like for like.
