Air quality & AQI in Peshawar
The US Air Quality Index (AQI) turns pollutant concentrations into a single 0–500 number: 0–50 is good, 51–100 moderate, 101–150 unhealthy for sensitive groups, 151–200 unhealthy, 201–300 very unhealthy and 301+ hazardous.

Across much of Punjab and northern Pakistan, air quality worsens sharply into a “smog season” from roughly late October to January, when cooler, still air traps pollution near the ground. On bad days, sensitive groups should limit outdoor exertion, keep windows shut, and wear a well-fitting N95 mask outdoors. Use the live ranking above to compare Peshawar with other Pakistani cities.
