Islamabad to get three new air quality monitoring systems

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of Pakistan will be installing three new air quality monitoring systems in Islamabad. In order to increase the capital’s capacity to accurately measure the air quality, the monitors will be installed in areas with the highest industrial and vehicular emissions like Peshawar Mor, Rawat, and Taramri Chowk. EPA has prepared the project concept-I in this regard which will be sent to the Ministry of Climate Change (MoCC) for final approval.

Smog has gripped the entire country in the winter season and Islamabad is no exception and severely high levels of air pollution has resulted in higher respiratory problems.
