Udupi Air Quality Remains Moderate Amid Seasonal Dust, IQAir Reports

On Tuesday, the IQAir monitoring station in Udupi registered an Air Quality Index (AQI) of 72, placing it in the moderate range for the day.

Local experts cite a combination of seasonal dust from nearby arid zones and increased traffic emissions as the primary contributors to the reading. Historical data show that Udupi typically experiences a rise in particulate matter during monsoon transitions, when wind patterns bring in coarse particles from inland.

The moderate AQI warns residents, especially children, the elderly, and those with respiratory conditions, to minimise prolonged outdoor activities. Health officials recommend using masks and staying indoors when measured values approach or exceed 100. Source: Google News – Udupi.
