Udupi's air quality index (AQI) was recorded at a moderate level today, according to data compiled by IQAir.
The figure places the city within acceptable limits, yet it shadows a national pattern of rising particulate matter. Seasonal variations and industrial emissions across Karnataka have pushed overall pollution averages higher this week.
The moderate AQI does not eliminate health concerns for residents, especially those with respiratory conditions. Authorities have urged continued monitoring and stricter enforcement of emissions standards across local factories and vehicular traffic. Source: Google News – Udupi.
