Lahore experienced an unprecedented smog event in November 2024, with PM2.5 levels reaching 632 micrograms per cubic meter.

Punjab authorities declared a health emergency, closed schools, and halted construction to reduce pollution exposure.

A shift in wind patterns carried hazardous smog from Lahore to Delhi, worsening air quality there by mid-November.

Crop stubble burning and a lack of autumn rainfall significantly intensified the region’s pollution crisis.

Children are more likely to be affected by smog, experiencing higher rates of related illnesses and hospitalisations compared to adults.
