Air Quality Managements Systems (AQMS)

The Current Environmental Landscape in Pakistan

10/28/2025

Pakistan faces a serious and growing air-quality crisis that affects public health, economic productivity, and environmental sustainability. According to recent data, the national average concentration of PM2.5 reached approximately 73.7 µg/m³ in 2024 more than 14 times higher than the guideline set by the World Health Organization (WHO). In urban areas, the situation is particularly severe: Lahore and Karachi frequently record AQI levels exceeding 300, with some episodes surpassing 1,000.

The causes are multifaceted vehicular emissions, industrial operations, construction dust, and agricultural residue burning all contribute. The impact on human health is immense: air pollution in Pakistan is estimated to shorten life expectancy by nearly four years, and by up to seven years in the most polluted regions.

This underscores the urgent need for effective air-quality monitoring infrastructure to support informed decision-making.

What is an Air Quality Monitoring System (AQMS)?

An AQMS continuously measures concentrations of key air pollutants such as PM2.5, PM 10 NOx, SO2, CO, O3, and VOCs, along with meteorological parameters like temperature, wind speed, and humidity. These systems deliver real-time data essential for compliance, emission control, and public health protection.

AQMS technology plays a crucial role in Pakistan’s context because it enables policymakers and industries to detect pollution hotspots, issue timely warnings, and evaluate the success of mitigation strategies. Without accurate data, meaningful air quality improvement remains out of reach.
