IQAir

IQAir is a company that specializes in air quality monitoring and technology. It is newsworthy due to the recent publication of its annual report on global air quality. This report highlights countries and cities with the highest levels of air pollution, specifically focusing on fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Recent findings indicate that only a small percentage of countries and cities meet the World Health Organization's (WHO) air quality guidelines. Pakistan was identified as one of the most polluted countries, with PM2.5 levels significantly exceeding WHO recommendations. The report's findings are relevant as they underscore the widespread issue of air pollution and its potential health impacts, prompting concerns and discussions about public health and environmental policies in affected regions like Chiang Mai, where residents are experiencing health problems linked to poor air quality.
