Karachi Chokes! The city has hit the top of the global pollution charts with a dangerously high air quality index (AQI) of 179.
Despite clear skies, the air remains thick with pollution, posing serious health risks. The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) recorded a maximum temperature of 32°C and a minimum of 20.4°C, with light northern winds and 34% humidity.
Experts warn that prolonged exposure to toxic air can trigger severe respiratory issues, urging residents—especially children and the elderly—to stay indoors. An AQI between 151-200 is unhealthy, while anything beyond 300 is a direct health hazard.
As winter tightens its grip, pollution levels continue to rise. Slower winds and colder temperatures trap poisonous particles closer to the ground, making every breath a risk.
Karachiites, don’t take chances—mask up, stay indoors, and minimize exposure. The city’s air is turning toxic, and every breath counts!
