GreenHouse Gases (GHG)
Atmosphere
CH₄
Annual GHG Levels over Pakistan
Concentration in 2025
↑
ppb
CH₄ (2024): 1935 ppb
Trend: Increasing
Why does this matter?
Rising methane levels trap heat, intensify extreme weather, and disrupt natural climate systems.
Atmosphere
CO₂
Annual GHG Levels over Pakistan
Concentration in 2025
↑
ppm
CO₂ (2024): 421 ppm
Trend: Increasing
Why does this matter?
Rising carbon dioxide strengthens the greenhouse effect, causes long-term warming and affects weather pattern, and sea levels.
Air POLLUTION INDICATORS
Atmosphere
AOD
Monthly Aerosol Optical Depth over Pakistan
Concentration in Mar 2026
↓
AOD (Feb 2025): 0.30
Trend: Slightly Decreasing
Why does this matter?
AOD indicates airborne particles such as dust and smoke; higher values may result in haze and smog as well as affect health.
Atmosphere
NO₂
Monthly Air Pollution Levels over Pakistan
Concentration in Mar 2026
↓
µmol/m²
NO₂ (Feb 2026): 21 µmol/m²
Trend: Slightly Decreasing
Why does this matter?
Nitrogen dioxide from vehicles and industry indicates urban pollution, causing respiratory issues and smog formation.
Atmosphere
SO₂
Monthly Air Pollution Levels over Pakistan
Concentration in Mar 2026
↓
µmol/m²
SO₂ (Feb 2026): 30 µmol/m²
Trend: Slightly Decreasing
Why does this matter?
SO₂ from industry and fossil fuels causes respiratory irritation and contributes to acid rain and environmental damage.
