CEA says air quality in Sri Lanka expected to improve

By: Isuru Parakrama

December 05, Colombo (LNW): The Central Environmental Authority (CEA) has announced that air quality in several regions across Sri Lanka is expected to improve further in the coming days.

According to the latest data released by the CEA, the air quality index (AQI) across the country ranged from 44 to 106 as of 6:00 a.m. today (05), indicating a generally moderate air quality level.

Despite the overall positive trend, the CEA reported a slight decline in air quality in the capital, Colombo, where the AQI ranged between 98 and 106.

Whilst this still falls within the “moderate” category, it is a slight drop compared to the previous days.

In contrast, other areas across the island have seen an improvement, with air quality remaining in the moderate range, which is considered acceptable for the general population.

Notably, in Nuwara Eliya, a region known for its cooler and cleaner air, the air quality has returned to normal levels, following some recent fluctuations.

The CEA has assured the public that the overall air quality is expected to stabilise, thanks to favourable weather conditions, including reduced dust and pollutant levels.
