March 10, Colombo (LNW): The National Building Research Organisation (NBRO) has reported that the air quality in five major cities across Sri Lanka is currently at slightly unhealthy levels.
These cities include Galle, Ratnapura, Embilipitiya, Batticaloa, and Anuradhapura. The NBRO has cautioned residents in these areas to be aware of the air quality, particularly those with respiratory conditions or sensitivities to air pollution.
Elsewhere in Sri Lanka, the air quality has been observed to be at moderate levels, with no immediate health risks.
The NBRO forecasts an improvement in air quality for the five affected cities, expecting the levels to shift from slightly unhealthy to moderate within the next 24 hours.
