The meteorological and atmospheric conditions were obtained from two sources: GDAS and METAR of the international airport. The pollution sources were CRB fires obtained from satellite information and the mobile sources in Lahore. Satellite detected fires were found to be underestimated compared to actual observations using Google Earth. GDAS weather information did not reflect the local conditions well. Using both GDAS and METAR weather information showed that PM_2.5 from CRB contributed very little to the air pollution in Lahore, however only METAR information resulted in PM_2.5 emissions similar to those measured in the city. This study indicates that the focus of the government of Punjab should be on reducing emissions from urban rather than rural areas.]]> Derk Bakker, Hadia Pervaiz 2026-04-08 Science and Education Publishing 2026-04-08 1 11 1 10 10.12691/jap-11-1-1
