Kathmandu Is Choking – And It’s About to Get Worse

Kathmandu just recorded a PM2.5 AQI of around 350, putting it among the most polluted cities in the world. In this video, we explore the air pollution crisis in Kathmandu, the science behind PM2.5, and the real solutions Nepal needs — all explained with 3D animations.
We'll cover:
What’s causing this toxic air in Kathmandu
How PM2.5 particles damage lungs, heart, and brain
How Kathmandu Valley’s geography traps pollutants
The impact of traffic, brick kilns, and construction dust
Why rain and wind are no longer enough
How Nepal can fight this environmental and health crisis

This isn’t just about dust or weather — it’s about life and death. It's a public health emergency.
