Dubai Municipality has confirmed that the air quality in the emirate conforms to the approved international standards.
According to the municipality's Director-General, Hussain Nasser Lootah, the level of air quality in Dubai reached 88 per cent by the end of 2015, which is higher than the target level of 85 per cent.
The results were revealed through 13 smart stations that monitor the air quality in different locations of the emirate covering urban uses in the industrial, commercial and residential areas and major roads.
Lootah noted that there is close cooperation between the municipality and different sectors to ensure emission reductions that can pollute the air.
On the Air Quality Strategy Project in Dubai, Alya AbdulRahim Al Harmoudi, Director of Environment Department at DM, pointed out that the project aims to achieve 90 per cent of the air quality index contained in the target within Dubai plan for 2021.
