Air Quality Bulletin
Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological Service
10:50 am Wednesday, 12 August 2026

Air Quality Index Based on Particulate Matter 2.5 (PM2.5) and 10 (PM10) Concentrations

Location: Antigua and Barbuda
Air quality category: Moderate
Timing: Until Sunday.

Synopsis: The air quality has improved to moderate levels due to the easing of particulate matter 2.5 and 10, associated with the twenty-second notable surge in Saharan Dust for the country in
2026.

The health risk is low for most people; however, unusually sensitive people such as asthmatics need to be aware of potentially poor air quality and keep up with the latest forecasts.

Air quality index: 51 to 80

Air Pollution (Alert) Level: II

Sensitive groups: People with respiratory or heart disease, the elderly, and children are the groups most at risk.

Health implications: Air quality is acceptable; however, for some pollutants, there may be moderate health concerns for a very small number of people who are unusually sensitive to air
pollution.

Caution: Active children and adults, and people with respiratory diseases, such as asthma, should limit prolonged outdoor exertion.
