Air Quality Deteriorates Across Sri Lanka
While the AQI in most regions is expected to remain within moderate levels, major cities such as Jaffna, Colombo, Galle, Trincomalee, Batticaloa, Polonnaruwa, and Anuradhapura may experience slightly unhealthy air quality conditions.
The NBRO advises residents in these cities, particularly those with respiratory conditions, to take precautionary measures, including limiting outdoor activities and wearing masks. The organization emphasized the importance of monitoring the air quality throughout the day and staying informed of any updates.
While the air quality may improve in other regions, the situation in urban areas could lead to increased concerns, especially during peak traffic hours. The NBRO continues to monitor air pollution levels and will provide further updates as necessary.
For the latest information on air quality in your area, the public is encouraged to refer to the official NBRO updates and take appropriate action to protect their health.
