smog

Delhiites woke up on Thursday to a thick envelope of smog as air quality in the national capital and in adjoining regions, dipped into severe category again.

The UN health agency says nearly everybody in the world breathes air that doesn’t meet its standards for air quality, calling for more action to reduce fossil-fuel use.

Pakistan's Lahore has been declared the most polluted city globally after the city recorded its highest ever smog levels as the Air Quality Index (AQI) went above 700, reported a local media.

Lahore is on top of the list of the most polluted cities in the world, according to air pollution data released by the US Air Quality Index.

As Delhi's air quality reached hazardous levels, Mira Rajput expressed her disappointment.

Air pollution has been reduced to some extent due to rainfall occurred in the hilly areas of the country including Kathmandu Valley on Wednesday evening.

The smog seen in various parts of the country since the last some days is not going away soon.

The smog blanketing the Kathmandu Valley since Friday is to stay some more days.

The atmosphere at many places in Nepal has stayed still due to which the pollutant particles have been floating in the atmosphere,
