MUSCAT : In an official statement, the Authority said it is closely monitoring gas emissions and their potential impact on Oman, particularly in light of regional ash movement detected over parts of Yemen and the Arabian Sea.

The Authority noted that its 68 air-quality monitoring stations, spread across Oman’s governorates, including eight in Dhofar and five in Al Wusta, continue to track pollutant levels around the clock. Based on readings so far, officials confirmed that air quality in the Sultanate has not been affected, and no abnormal increases have been recorded.

Members of the public can monitor real-time air quality data through the “Naqi” platform, the Authority added. It further stressed that relevant authorities will continue surveillance and issue updates if conditions change.
