Lahore tops city pollution league

A THICK cloud of smog that enveloped Pakistan’s cultural capital yesterday has earned it the ignominious title of the world’s most polluted city, according to an air quality monitoring company.

Platform IQAir said that Lahore now stands at the top of its polluted cities ranking – with an air quality index of 203 on the US AQI scale, versus runner-up Dehli, India, with 183.
