ENVIRONMENT

Loni overtakes Delhi as world's most polluted city in IQAir report

A global air quality study by IQAir ranks Loni, near Ghaziabad, as the world's most polluted city in the latest annual report. Loni recorded an annual PM2.5 concentration of 112.5 µg/m³, around 22 times higher than the World Health Organization’s recommended limit. The finding underscores a growing pollution crisis in India’s National Capital Region and highlights ongoing health risks for residents. Experts call for urgent policy action, stronger emissions controls, and expanded monitoring. PM2.5 particles are small enough to penetrate deep into the lungs and enter the bloodstream, increasing risks of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.
  • IQAir World Air Quality Report lists Loni as the most polluted city globally.
  • Loni PM2.5 annual average: 112.5 µg/m³; ~22x WHO guideline.
  • Delhi-NCR faces ongoing severe air pollution challenges.
