Not far behind, Jakarta, Indonesia, and Lahore, Pakistan, register AQIs of 171 and 167, respectively, both striving to implement innovative solutions to combat their atmospheric challenges.
Kinshasa: initiatives are underway to deploy air quality monitoring stations and encourage community participation in air quality measurement. This aims to provide real-time data for better environmental decision-making.
Jakarta:The city is tackling its pollution with a seven-pronged strategy, including vehicle emission tests and improved public transportation, to reduce the reliance on personal vehicles. This multi-faceted approach is designed to significantly lower pollution levels.
Lahore: Measures are in place to control pollution from brick kilns and plans to establish more air quality monitoring stations under the Punjab Green Development Program. These steps are crucial for managing and reducing the city's air pollution.
