Air quality in Victoria Island unhealthy: LASEPA
The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency’s (LASEPA) latest air quality index (AQI) shows most areas in the state are currently experiencing air quality levels categorised as “Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (UfSG).”
The AQI was released by the general manager of LASEPA, Babtunde Ajayi, on his verified X handle on Monday.
The highest AQI reading was recorded in KOSOFE (LAMATA) with a value of 25, followed by Victoria Island (20) and Igando and UNILAG CRL (both 18).
The AQI showed that, while these levels were not immediately dangerous for the general population, they might affect individuals with respiratory conditions, the elderly, and young children.
Other locations showing elevated AQI levels include Moloney Street, Akodo, Lagos Island, and Mushin, each recording values of 16, placing them within the same UfSG category.
However, two locations – Egbeda (11) and NiMET, Oshodi (10) – recorded “Good” air quality, posing little or no risk to the general population.
