Pollution of death...
The pollution comes from many sources besides vehicles. Fires burned at cremation ghats near Pashupatinath temple in Nepal’s capital day and night. Kathmandu's air quality is probably some of the most toxic air on Earth and recently ranked as one of the world’s worst polluted cities in terms of air quality. It threatens humans as well as mountain glaciers as it floats north into the Himalayas.
