Summary:

Smog has enveloped Kathmandu, significantly reducing visibility and obscuring views of the surrounding hills and mountains. On Thursday morning, the air quality deteriorated to hazardous levels, with PM2.5 concentrations reaching 155 micrograms per cubic meter, ranking Kathmandu as the eighth most polluted city in the world. Experts warn that this pollution poses serious health risks, especially for individuals with respiratory issues, attributing the poor air quality to construction dust, vehicle emissions, and stubble burning. The situation raises significant public health concerns as the city grapples with ongoing pollution challenges.
