India, Pakistan blanketed in smog so thick, it's visible from space: See pictures
Air pollution in India and Pakistan has reached dangerous levels, with smog so thick that it can be seen from space.
The smog is caused by a combination of factors, including vehicle emissions, industrial pollution, and crop burning. It has led to a number of health problems for residents of both countries, including respiratory problems, heart disease, and cancer.
The smog is particularly bad in New Delhi, India, where it has reached levels that are more than 10 times higher than the World Health Organization's recommended limit.
The government of India has taken steps to address the problem, including implementing a ban on crop burning and restricting the use of diesel vehicles in New Delhi. However, the smog has continued to worsen, and there is no easy solution.
The smog is also having a significant impact on the environment.
It is blocking sunlight from reaching plants, which is leading to a decrease in crop yields. It is also polluting water supplies, which is making it unsafe for drinking and bathing.
The smog is a serious problem that is affecting the health of millions of people in India and Pakistan.
It is also having a significant impact on the environment. There is no easy solution to the problem, but both the government and the public need to work together to find ways to reduce air pollution.
Here are some pictures of the smog in India and Pakistan:
