Sri Lanka To Launch First Online Air Quality Tracker in Colombo

COLOMBO (News 1st); The Central Environmental Authority (CEA) has taken steps to install an advanced air quality monitoring device in Colombo, aimed at accurately measuring key atmospheric pollutants.

This initiative is part of a broader project to improve and manage air quality in Sri Lanka, carried out with technical assistance from the Government of France. 

According to the CEA, the device will be strategically placed near the Colombo Fort area and is capable of precisely detecting six major air pollutants.
