Toxic smog in Lahore seen from space in NASA’s satellite images; raising alarm over pollution crisis

Eastern Pakistan and northern India are currently experiencing a severe smog crisis, with Lahore reaching record-breaking pollution levels. The toxic haze, visible from space, is caused by industrial emissions, vehicle exhaust, and agricultural burning. This has forced school closures, outdoor activity bans, and raised significant health concerns, especially for vulnerable populations like children and the elderly.
