Multan's air quality reflects the flat Pakistan Punjab Chenab River plain at 122 metres, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the vehicle density, brick kiln, and industrial corridor generating elevated PM2.5. The dry winter northeast monsoon concentrates emissions extensively, while the flat alluvial terrain's minimal dispersal maintains Multan among Pakistan's more persistently challenged Indus Plains major city environments, particularly from October to March throughout the dry season.

When is air pollution at its worst in Multan?
In Multan, traffic on the surrounding roads together with textile and manufacturing operations are the main local sources, with conditions worsening when dry, windy weather picks up. Dust carried on these winds adds substantially to particulate levels. The wet season generally clears the air, while the dry season lets levels build back up.
Are air quality levels in Multan based on measurements or forecasts?
It is forecasts derived by downscaling forecasts provided by EU’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) by taking into account local conditions such as traffic patterns. CAMS bases its forecast on satellite measurements of particles and chemical compounds in the atmosphere. Airmine’s services were developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team.
