Air Quality Index (AQI) in Côte d'Ivoire 🇨🇮

Live Air Quality Index (AQI) and PM2.5 Levels in Côte d'Ivoire

Currently, the Air Quality Index (AQI) in Yamoussoukro, the capital of Côte d'Ivoire, is measured at a score of 54. According to the US EPA health standard, this air quality rating is categorized as Good. The current atmosphere in Yamoussoukro is influenced by a PM2.5 (fine particulate matter) concentration of 10.8 µg/m³ and PM10 levels recorded at 12.3 µg/m³. Monitoring of gaseous pollutants shows Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) at 2.2 µg/m³.

Beyond the primary urban hubs, atmospheric conditions and smog levels fluctuate across Côte d'Ivoire based on industrial output, traffic density, and local weather patterns. Real-time pollution data and respiratory health alerts are also being actively monitored in cities like Abidjan, Abobo, Bouaké, Korhogo and Daloa. Tracking these air quality metrics is essential for residents nationwide to manage outdoor exposure and maintain respiratory safety during periods of increased particulate concentration.
