17 October 2025

A portion of Kathmandu, Nepal, is covered by a thin layer of smog that shrouds the atmosphere of the bowl-shaped Kathmandu Valley on October 17, 2025, with the Air Quality Index measuring above 100. The average readings of Kathmandu's pollution exceed the annual average concentrations of PM2.5 of 5 ug/m3, while 24-hour average exposures should not exceed 15 ug/m3 more than 3-4 days per year, as prescribed by the World Health Organization. PM2.5 refers to particulate matter (solid or liquid droplets) in the air less than 2.5 micrometres in diameter. It is among the most dangerous pollutants that can get past the nose and throat to penetrate the lungs and even the bloodstream. PM2.5 particles are small and are also likely to stay suspended in the air for long, increasing the chances of people inhaling them. According to Nepal's Environmental Protection Agency's air quality index, an air quality reading of 151-200 is considered unhealthy, causing everyone to experience problems and sensitive groups to feel more severe effects. When air quality reaches 201-300, it is considered a very unhealthy level, and health risks increase for everyone in the area. When it crosses 300, it becomes hazardous, meaning that the air is of extremely poor quality and poses serious health risks to everyone.

Two tourists take photos of a golf cart parked in Piazza della Repubblica, Florence. In the background, the Arcone building with the inscription ''L'ANTICO CENTRO DELLA CITTA DA SECOLARE SQUALLORE A VITA NUOVA RESTITUITO'' (''The ancient center of the city, restored from centuries of squalor to new life'') is visible, along with the Apple Store and the carousel. In Florence, Italy, on October 9, 2025, golf cars, caddies, and rickshaws operate and park in the historic center of Florence, one day after the protest held by tour operators against the new municipal regulations. Starting from October 15, new rules come into force in the UNESCO area: no more than 24 vehicles circulate at the same time, only two pre-defined routes are allowed, and just one stop per route. Tour companies contest the restrictions and announce legal appeals.
