Air Quality Index Based on Particulate Matter (PM2.5 and PM10) Concentration

Air Quality Category: Moderate

Location: Antigua and Barbuda

Timing: Until Sunday

Synopsis:The air quality remains moderate due to the presence of particulate matter 2.5 and 10 (PM2.5 and PM10), associated with the twelfth surge in Saharan Dust for 2024.

This may elevate the threat of health problems, particularly for unusually sensitive individuals such as asthmatics, potentially causing limited health impacts.

Air Quality Index: 51 to 80

Alert Level: II

Sensitive Groups:People with respiratory or heart disease, the elderly, and children are most at risk.

Health Implications:Air quality is acceptable; however, some pollutants may cause moderate health concerns for a very small number of people who are unusually sensitive to air pollution.

Caution:Active children and adults, as well as individuals with respiratory diseases such as asthma, should limit prolonged outdoor exertion.
