25 New Air Quality Monitors in Punjab

Provincial senior minister Marriyum Aurangzeb has said that the air quality monitors will assist in correct data, timely tracing, and prevention of air pollution.

“Twenty-five more air monitors will be installed in the second phase,” Aurangzeb said.

“The number of air pollution monitors in Lahore has reached eight with the installation of three new monitors,” the minister said.

“Three air quality monitors have been fixed in Rawalpindi and one each in Faisalabad and Sheikhupura,” she said. “Two air monitors have been installed each in Gujranwala and Bahawalpur, while one in Sialkot,” the senior minister said.

The provincial minister said that these air monitors have been connected to the central control room of the Environment Protection Agency. This modern digital system will also be connected with the global information system, she further said.

“Instead of hiding information a tradition is being set to share facts with the general public,” the minister said.

“There will be continued air quality monitoring, which is a step towards permanent solution of the problem,” she added.
