Mashhad’s Air Quality Remains “Healthy” as Officials Encourage Outdoor Activities
Clean Air and Clear Skies: Mashhad’s Favorable Weather Conditions
Mashhad, the capital of Khorasan Razavi Province, continues to enjoy healthy air quality, with the latest reports indicating an Air Quality Index (AQI) of 81—well within the “healthy” range. Over the past 24 hours, the city’s AQI averaged 90, reinforcing stable and safe atmospheric conditions for residents and visitors alike.
Regional Air Quality Breakdown
Saeed Mahmoudi, Director General of Khorasan Razavi’s Environmental Protection Agency, confirmed that while six areas in the province currently experience “unhealthy” air quality, the remaining 17 monitoring stations report “healthy” conditions. He noted, however, that pollutant levels are gradually rising, urging citizens to remain mindful of air quality fluctuations.
Public Health Recommendations
Officials advise residents to take advantage of clean air days by engaging in outdoor activities such as walking, which promotes personal well-being. Conversely, on days with elevated pollution, people—especially sensitive groups and children—are encouraged to limit unnecessary travel in heavily affected areas.
Understanding Air Quality Index (AQI) Standards
- 0–50 AQI: “Clean” air
- 51–100 AQI: “Healthy” air (current status in Mashhad)
- 101–150 AQI: Unhealthy for sensitive groups
- 151–200 AQI: Unhealthy for all age groups
- 201–300 AQI: “Emergency” conditions
- 300+ AQI: “Critical” pollution levels
With current conditions favorable, Mashhad remains an inviting destination for pilgrims and tourists, supported by proactive environmental monitoring and public advisories.
