Air Quality Index (AQI) in Venezuela 🇻🇪
Live Air Quality Index (AQI) and PM2.5 Levels in Venezuela
Currently, the Air Quality Index (AQI) in Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, is measured at a score of 57. According to the US EPA health standard, this air quality rating is categorized as Good. The current atmosphere in Caracas is influenced by a PM2.5 (fine particulate matter) concentration of 12.1 µg/m³ and PM10 levels recorded at 14.9 µg/m³. Monitoring of gaseous pollutants shows Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) at 11.4 µg/m³.
Beyond the primary urban hubs, atmospheric conditions and smog levels fluctuate across Venezuela 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 Maracaibo, Maracay, Valencia, Barquisimeto and Ciudad Guayana. Tracking these air quality metrics is essential for residents nationwide to manage outdoor exposure and maintain respiratory safety during periods of increased particulate concentration.
