Air pollution in the Kathmandu Valley has escalated, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) rising from 178 to 191, a level considered unhealthy for all, according to US-EPA standards. This makes Kathmandu the third most polluted city in the world, after New Delhi (AQI 229) and Lahore (AQI 203). Director General Gyan Raj Subedi of the Department of Environment warned that the pollution may worsen if rainfall does not occur soon. Environmental experts cite increasing motor vehicles, diesel and petrol emissions, dust from construction, forest fires, and prolonged drought as key contributors. An AQI of 151–200 is unsafe for everyone, and sensitive groups may experience serious health effects. Authorities advise limiting outdoor exertion, especially for children and those with respiratory conditions, and encourage sustainable measures to reduce pollution impacts. #KathmanduAirQuality #AQI191 #AirPollution #EnvironmentalHealth #NepalNews #ChotkariEnglish

The Kathmandu Valley experienced a significant decline in air pollution on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, coinciding with the public holiday for Gyalpo Lhosar. The Air Quality Index (AQI) fell from 191 on Tuesday, which was considered unhealthy for all and made Kathmandu the third most polluted city globally, to 114 by the same hour on Wednesday, ranking it 14th worldwide. Experts attribute the improvement to a temporary reduction in vehicular traffic, which decreased by approximately 10 percent. Vehicles are considered a major direct source of pollution in the valley. AQI levels between 101–150 are still deemed unhealthy for sensitive groups, who may experience health effects. Environmental specialists emphasize the transport sector's pivotal role in air quality management. While the improvement is temporary, it highlights the impact of traffic reduction on urban air pollution. #KathmanduAirQuality #AQIUpdate #GyalpoLhosar #PollutionDrop #CleanAir #chotkari
