Kathmandu’s air pollution has reached dangerous levels, making it the most polluted city in the world in recent days. Thick smog has covered the city, causing serious health problems for residents.
Causes of the Rising Pollution
The pollution has worsened due to wildfire smoke, dust, and emissions from vehicles and industries. The combination of these factors has made the air unsafe to breathe, affecting thousands of people.
Health Problems Due to Pollution
Many people in Kathmandu are experiencing burning eyes, sore throats, and persistent coughs. Hospitals are struggling with an increase in patients suffering from severe respiratory issues. Doctors warn that long-term exposure to such high pollution levels can cause serious health problems.
Pollution Levels Exceed Danger Limits
The air pollution in Kathmandu is currently three times higher than the danger limit set by health authorities. Experts have advised people to take precautions to protect themselves from the harmful effects of the pollution.
How to Stay Safe in the Pollution
- Wear a mask while going outside
