As air quality worsens, Taj disappears behind smog
Tuesday, 7 November 2023 The Taj Mahal in Agra, India, was shrouded in smog, making it barely visible to visitors due to high levels of air pollution. The concentration of fine inhalable particles was 6.5 times above the recommended limit set by the World Health Organization. Many visitors experienced difficulty in breathing, coughing, and eye irritation. The pollution is also affecting the tourism industry, with tourists expressing frustration over not being able to see the monument. The rising pollution levels have led to an increase in respiratory issues, prompting health officials to advise wearing face masks and avoiding public places. Measures such as spraying water at construction sites and managing traffic have been implemented to mitigate the pollution.
