The country had to go for a four-day school closure in March this year after the air pollution reached hazardous level.
That was the first-of-its-kind decision that the federal government had to take after Nepal’s sky hemmed in tear-producing smoke and dust particles as the country has not witnessed winter rains so far.
Smoke that accumulates in the atmosphere due to wildfire in different parts of the country, haze, and smoke produced from brick kilns, factories, industries, solid wastes that we from our households and farms have been attributed to the rising air pollution in Kathmandu and other major city areas of the country, say the environmentalists and chemists working at the Department of Environment.
