Muscat: The Environment Authority today launched a new digital platform, the "Naqi" (Pure) app, for smartphones, providing users with real-time, accurate air quality index data.
The "Naqi" app features advanced capabilities, including an interactive real-time air quality map based on geographic location, along with detailed reports on pollutants such as fine particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and other variables.
The "Naqi" platform will be accessible via its website and the app for all iOS and Android users, supporting Oman’s environmental sustainability vision and digital transformation.
The app utilizes a visual alert system with a color-coded scheme (from green for good quality to red for hazardous conditions) for quick and effective air quality assessment. It also provides current weather data, integrating air quality and weather conditions to enhance users' daily planning accuracy. The platform supports both Arabic and English to broaden its user base.
The app’s launch coincides with World Environment Day, observed annually on 5 June, to advance digital transformation in environmental systems, improve access to environmental information, and enhance quality of life.
