KTM valley’s air quality sees drastic improvement following rainfall

Following recent rainfall in the Kathmandu Valley, the region has experienced a significant improvement in air quality, marking a stark contrast to its earlier designation as the world’s most polluted city.

As of today, the Air Quality Index (AQI) data indicates a remarkable drop from a high of 162 to a current measurement of 56, positioning Kathmandu at the 50th spot globally.

The positive shift in air quality is attributed to the effective containment of wildfires, facilitated by the recent precipitation. According to wildfire expert Sundar Sharma, the rainfall has played a crucial role in minimizing air pollutants, thereby enhancing the overall atmospheric conditions in the valley.
