The Blanket of Smog in Kathmandu
The thick smog that blanketed the Kathmandu Valley for almost a week is now somewhat clear following the rainfall starting Wednesday. The level of air pollution may have decreased to some extent but the air quality still remains ‘UNHEALTHY ’ for breathing.
A gentle reminder, please wear a face mask and protective glasses when going out of your home.
Note: Globally, 4.5 million deaths were linked to outdoor air pollution exposures in 2019, as found in the State of Global Air Report. Considered separately, outdoor (ambient) particle pollution (PM2.5) ranked as the 6th leading risk factor and household air pollution ranked 9th
