Male' Faces Severe Pollution Due to Irvai Moosuma

Male' city has recently experienced a significant increase in pollution levels due to the Irvai Moosuma weather phenomenon. This surge in pollution has been primarily caused by the thick smog originating from northern India, which has drifted towards the Maldives. The air quality in Male' has deteriorated to 114 on the pollution index, indicating a severe impact on the environment and public health. The most affected areas are those with pollution levels between 0-50, followed by regions with levels between 50-100. The situation is expected to improve as the weather conditions change, but there are concerns that further waves of pollution could affect the country. The Odidhoni ferry service in Male' has also been disrupted due to the poor air quality. While the pollution from Irvai Moosuma has caused significant issues, it is feared that the effects of air pollution from India could continue to impact the Maldives in the coming days.
