Pollution Level In Nepal Spikes Further With Delay In Winter Rain And Raging Wild Fires
With the start of early wildfires, the Nepali capital, Kathmandu, is shrouded in a thick layer of smog and dust, reducing visibility and further plummeting the air quality to the Very Unhealthy category on January 21, 2025. The Kathmandu Valley, a bowl-shaped, densely populated area, always faces the problem of air pollution as smog and dust accumulate after a fall in temperature. Furthermore, the forest fire fuels the pollution by emitting smoke as the dry season and absence of winter rain continue for the year. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
