Lucknow’s air quality several times worse than WHO guidelines: Greenpeace report

Hindustan Times  

LUCKNOW Air pollution levels in 11 cities of the country, including Lucknow, are well over the danger mark, reveals the latest Greenpeace India report. In particular, Lucknow’s air was found to have an annual PM2.5 concentration of 79.24 μg/m3, which is 15.8 times higher than the safe levels set by the WHO. The city’s annual NO2 concentration was also found 3.3 times higher than the safe levels at 32.95 μg/m3. It is concerning that over one year and ten months have passed since the WHO updated its air quality standards, while our own national standards remain stagnant.” He added, “It is for the government to prioritise clean energy sources like wind and solar, while actively promoting low-cost, carbon-neutral, and accessible transportation alternatives.” Earlier, in 2021, the WHO conducted a systematic review, adjusting all the Air Quality Guidelines levels downwards.
