Air pollution is so thick in the city that residents rarely see the sun. |
|
Much of the pollution comes from mine tailings, or residues. |
|
Slow moving or static high pressure areas with their temperature inversions typify these conditions and cause rising pollution if they enclose a source of pollution. |
|
The air pollution caused by smoking autos and scooters is a case in point. |
|
Noise, pollution and grimaces tend to undo any good that nature has done. |
