    The average annual levels of the PM2.5 in the country observed in the World Air Quality report have risen to 54.4µg/m3 from 53.3µg/m3.

    The yearly agricultural craft burning, daily car emission and the construction and industries emission have greatly reduced the Air Quality Index (AQI) in the country.
