EPA warns of rising air pollution in Kabul
Afghanistan's National Environmental Protection Agency warns Kabul is facing higher pollution levels this winter, with residents at increased risk of respiratory illness if fuel use is not managed.
Afghanistan's National Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA) has forecast that Kabul will receive less snow this winter but will experience higher levels of air pollution. The agency warns that if residents do not carefully manage what they use as fuel for heating, pollution levels will rise further, leading to more people falling ill with respiratory and other pollution‑related diseases. The situation highlights an ongoing environmental health crisis in the capital linked to poor air quality and unsustainable fuel consumption.
