Unhealthy Air Levels Recorded
The Air Quality Index (AQI) in the city of Qom has registered a level of 102, placing it in the “unhealthy for sensitive groups” category. This situation has developed due to an increased concentration of fine suspended particles in the atmosphere, particularly the pollutant known as PM2.5.

Qom University of Medical Sciences has issued warnings about the effects of prolonged exposure to polluted air.
