Brown Cloud

The Brown Cloud is a thick, hazy layer of pollution that covers parts of South Asia, especially during winter months. It is mainly composed of tiny particles like soot, dust, and chemicals released from vehicles, factories, and burning crops. This pollution reduces sunlight, worsens air quality, and can harm health and the environment. The Brown Cloud not only affects local areas but can also be transported by wind, impacting regions far away. Addressing it requires reducing emissions through cleaner energy use, better transportation, and stricter pollution controls.
