Air Quality Of Kathmandu Dips Further As Toxic Smog Shrouds Atmosphere
A thick layer of polluted smog covers the atmosphere of Kathmandu, Nepal, on April 4, 2025, with a drop in AQI of the bowl-shaped valley. Nepal's Ministry of Health and Population urges people to take precautions as air pollution levels remain unhealthy throughout the week. The health ministry issues a statement stating that Nepal is recently listed among the most polluted countries according to the Air Quality Index (AQI). With Kathmandu's AQI level reaching 348, categorized as 'hazardous,' the MoHP advises children, the elderly, pregnant women, and those with chronic illnesses to be especially cautious. The MoHP recommends staying indoors unless necessary, wearing masks during travel, and avoiding highly polluted areas. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
