smog

We have reported on how pollution affects the poorest the most and how many don’t have a choice but to go out and work in the smog here, here and here.

Air pollution in India's capital Delhi has soared to extremely severe levels, choking residents and engulfing the city in thick smog.

The smog is so thick in some places that it blocks out buildings and makes it hard to see down the street.

In a post on X, the Indian capital's chief minister, Atishi Marlena Singh, said classes will move online until further notice due to a thick smog that has enveloped the city.

A few days ago, Nasa shared satellite images of a blanket of smog engulfing parts of northern India and neighbouring Pakistan.
