LAHORE: The provincial capital has reached crisis levels of air pollution, with its Air Quality Index<\/a> (AQI) soaring to a critical 435, posing severe health risks to its residents.<\/p>\n

The city’s alarming AQI levels have catapulted it to the top spot among Pakistan’s most polluted cities<\/a>, according to real-time data from IQAir.<\/p>\n
